    Edit: Failed to post the street photo, so posted this one instead.

    Taken with the Leica T/18-56 in the Hartville Kitchen restaurant lobby in Northern Ohio, in available light. I had to clear a few small reflections here – not as bad as if flash were used though. At the top of the stairs is a store for Thomas Kinkade paintings, so the motif here…[Read more]

    Kirsten Vignes replied to the topic firmware issue in the forum Leica T (Typ 701) 11 years, 12 months ago

    Naper is correct. You downloaded a ZIP file from Leica's website, which you then extracted the .TUF file from. The file isn't readable by a computer. You simply transfer it to you camera's SD card and then put it into the T. I put together a step-by-step visual guide on how to update the firmware on the T since it's not very straight forward. If…[Read more]

    I would like to see a Leica like the M60 without a screen, just dials and ISO setting in the rear. Call it MO for Leica M or Others! That would be lovely and affordable under 5K. I can dream right!

      I think the black and white works well with the subject matter. You see so many weddings in full color and they all look the same. B&W gives it an art aspect and so different from the norm.

      Lovely image Peter. The B&W gives the image a nice mood and feel.

      Thanks Mark, I agree about the mood of B&W. Very hard to pull off in such a dark room though. Thankfully I had the Monochrom!

    It looks like I won't be able to post any more ‘T' photos. I found a great way to post photos a few months ago at the suggestion of the person running the LeicaPlace forum, and it posts a thumbnail that connects to a full size photo. But that didn't work here, and I really don't want to jump through hoops JUST to contribute photos here. I have…[Read more]

    erlingmm replied to the topic New Firmware – what to expect on the S2? in the forum S2 12 years ago

    Just installed the new firmware for the S2, and tested autofocus on 120CS and 180mm. I have to judge by memory only, but it seems faster and more precise. Maybe a little noisier, too? When focus changes are big, it seems to go brrrrr-br, with a short fine correction after a very brief pause. Only one incident of hunting (to macro) on the 120CS,…[Read more]

    David,
    I added my photo easily, and was glad to see that my join date is three years before yours.
    I like the new “using” designation.
    So now that I am live, I like the new site
