Capture One is a great choice and offers official support for Leica DNGs. But we do continue to prefer Lightroom for file management and image processing. Lightroom works so well with Leica files due to Leica and Adobe's close collaboration since 2009. Adobe is a juggernaut in the imaging world. They continue to introduce new and powerful…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback. We've updated the firmware file with the extra “_0” in the name to be correctly recognized by the camera. Not sure why Leica provided a file with the wrong name, but we've fixed it on the Red Dot Forum FTP server.

Just FYI, not sure if just me but I had trouble with the SL2-S File. I noticed the file had a dash instead of underscore between the SL2 and S. When I switched to an underscore it worked but wouldn't work with the original dash. Thanks for posting this info and the comments. Very helpful

The M11 is an incredible and capable camera, no doubt there. But I lean on the SL2 for my landscape photography for few reasons. The SL2 and SL lenses are fully weather sealed. In many of the locations I go to, weather sealing is a must-have. The worst weather often makes for the best pictures, so not having to worry about the gear goes a long way…[Read more]

The M11 is an incredible and capable camera, no doubt there. But I lean on the SL2 for my landscape photography for few reasons. The SL2 and SL lenses are fully weather sealed. In many of the locations I go to, weather sealing is a must-have. The worst weather often makes for the best pictures, so not having to worry about the gear goes a long way to focusing on the task at hand. Secondly, the lenses of the SL system allow for greater creative flexibility and working speed. With three zooms, I cover everything from 16 to 280mm. Less lens changing amplifies the previous weather sealing point and being able to quickly move between wide and tele allows for more nimble shooting and precise composition. Lastly, the SL2 ergonomics and EVF are tough to beat for landscape. Six assignable custom buttons, extremely rapid operation handheld or tripod-mounted and an unrivalled EVF live view experience are perfectly suited to landscape photography. Multishot and IBIS also contribute to the overall SL2 advantage here as well. Hope this helps.

Hi Kate. I asked this on Leica Australia's Instagram page and they confirmed it's made in Germany.
Capture One is a great choice and offers official support for Leica DNGs. But we do continue to prefer Lightroom for file management and image processing. Lightroom works so well with Leica files due to Leica and Adobe's close collaboration since 2009. Adobe is a juggernaut in the imaging world. They continue to introduce new and powerful features, constantly improving image quality, processing speed and pushing what can be accomplished in a single end-to-end RAW workflow.
Choices are great. At the end of the day, use what works best for your photography and workflow. If that's C1, awesome.
