    Bobby Lee replied to the topic Tethering M240 with MF Handgrip M in the forum Leica M 8 years, 8 months ago

    Hi David,

    We have tried that too. But unfortunately, using the EVF equals to using LV and there is time delay between pressing the shutter and the shutter react. Not practical for fashion or baby photography!

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic Tethering M240 with MF Handgrip M in the forum Leica M 8 years, 8 months ago

    Hi guys,

    Just get my M 240 MF handgrip. I plugged it with a USB cord I use normally for my card reader and start up the LR 5 with my two generation behind MacBook Pro. The tethering just work fine. The software recognised the M240 without any delay.

    So it sounds perfect! No! Why?

    Because the way you plug in the USB cable (on…[Read more]

    Hi Stephan,

    One thing for sure the D800E can make larger output (prints) because of its resolution.

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic ISO test between M Monochrom and M9 in the forum M Monochrom 10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all,

    I think it is very difficult to compare the image quality of the two cameras. One use CCD and the other CMOS, one use the Bayer Filters technique and not the other.

    I understand photographers always want to find out which camera is better or the best but we all know there is not such thing as the best camera for all…[Read more]

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic M Monochrom review web site (but in Chinese language at the meantime) in the forum M Monochrom 10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys,

    Just would like to post another M Monochrom image.

    This one is ‘almost' perfect except some blow out highlight. It should be better if I make a under exposure image and adjust it with Camera Raw later!

    Only wish I have a couple of days to try out the camera instead of 24 hours.

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic M Monochrom review web site (but in Chinese language at the meantime) in the forum M Monochrom 10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Pete,

    Well, I think the reason we have to follow the so called ‘expose to the right' is base on the histogram generate from the Joel preview image file. There are lots of round up figures when calculating this low resolution jpeg file and some camera manufacturers deliberately add on a safety margine to this calculation so the…[Read more]

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic M Monochrom review web site (but in Chinese language at the meantime) in the forum M Monochrom 10 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Pete,

    You are welcome.

    There is no sharpening on the attached image. Just default pre-sharpen setting (25) on Camera Raw.

    You should try the M Monochrom as if it is a camera loaded with Black and White (positive) film. I have found the ‘expose to the right' theory cannot work with this camera, or at least this one with…[Read more]

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic How do I know my new S2 is brand new? in the forum S2 10 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all,

    Many thanks for the information. In fact I did not look at the file number when I first received my S2 (my S2 file number start from L100068x). It is because the trading business is base on trust. But in certain area, Asia for example, buying expensive items need to pay extra attention. There are lots of authorized dealers selling…[Read more]

    However, ths is the test I have made on the 180mm.

    Pls note the size of the target with reference to the SD card below.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for the great news. Knowing that you will test this new lens. I really would like to see if there are any visible distortion. Also concern about lens flare!

    Looking forward to see your test images.

    Thanks.

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic S2 and long exposures in the forum S2 10 years, 10 months ago

    Hi all,

    Can we do a test with the same condition but Instead of focusing at infinity we deliberately make the shot out of focus (say turn the focus ring to it's nearest focusing limit). If the result image still have the relatively sharp ‘white lines' then it is the camera problem. If the lines are blur, soft or even not registered then…[Read more]

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic Right Angle Finder in the forum S2 10 years, 11 months ago

    Hi Stuart,
    I think the best we can do as a loyal Leica camera user is to tell the factory what we need.
    No matter how small the number of any specific pool of users, Leica can only improve their product line by listening to those who buy their cameras.

    Bobby Lee replied to the topic Right Angle Finder in the forum S2 10 years, 11 months ago

    Hi Stuart,

    I think the most important of all is feedback from end users. No matter how small the number, a product can only improve and survive in the market through these practical feedback.
    This is one of the reasons why I join this forum instead of the local ones in Hong Kong. There are too many Asian Leica owners bought their pieces…[Read more]

    I have ran another test. All with the same DNG files, one normal exposure as an incident meter reading, one three stops under exposed and one three stops over exposed. The difference is I converted these DNG file in Camera Raw (pls see screen shot) into 8 bit. First without any adjustment; Recovery = 0, Fill light = 0, Black = 0,…[Read more]
