Ah. Unfortunately, Lightroom doesn't yet support direct tethering in LR yet. In the meantime, you could use Leica Image Shuttle to put DNG files from the camera into a folder on your computer, then enable Auto Import in Lightroom, setting the watched folder to the same one you selected as output in Image Shuttle.

The only indications that the camera is fully supported are the proper display of camera metadata, showing there is an Adobe Standard camera profile and that the lens profile was automatically applied.
Are you seeing these in your Develop module with SL files loaded?

You can't set White Balance to the default DNG profile, but you can create a preset. Alternatively, what I was doing in my testing was to manually set a gray card white balance in the camera before shooting the tethered session. I find this technique works well, and have used it for LR as well going back to the S2.

Fred,
Unfortunately, there is no Image Shuttle 3 for Windows 10 just yet. I'm hoping to see this soon, as I work in both OS X and Windows environments.

For the S (Typ 006), you will have to use Image Shuttle 2.2, but the procedure remains the same.

I am in a Windows 10 environment. Can I tether in a Windows environment?
(I am a big fan of C1 and I hope I can make use of it with my 007).
Thanks,

Correct, there are no strap lugs on the lens itself. I had no issues carrying from just the camera strap. The lens points downwards which doesn't exert the same kind of lateral torque on the lens mount that mounting it to a tripod from the body would. In that case, use the tripod foot to remove the stress on the mount.

I enjoyed your review as usual. The lens looks like a stellar performer.

Great review David! Seems like a lens worth having.

Hi David
I hope you're well.
Great report as usual – I had the lens for a week, but I didn't have time to really do it justice.
Hope to get my hands on one again soon.best

I don't know what the stock situation in Hong Kong is like these days. Here in the US, the 90-280 is still in short supply relative to demand.

David,
Thanks for the walk through.
An easy update. Surprised they jumped from calling it a 2.xxx all the way to 3.0.0.0..0000
I expect 3.00.001 to convert meters into feet. And what other suggestions did you make that they may include on 3.00.002?I like that it will update my old lenses “automatically” so I will be good to go as soon as the S 350mm is announced.

Thorough and concise!
Thanks, David!

Yes, the 90-280 SL has a very nicely designed rotating, detachable tripod collar. There is a knob to lock the rotation and a knob with safety release for the tripod food.

I'm sure there will plenty of primes to come, starting with the 50 f/1.4 Summilux-SL coming later this year. In order to cover the widest range of focal lengths, the two zooms were launched first.

What would be a compact elegant leica-like camera if only for the fact that the only thing made for the front of it are metal munching monster lenses. They promised a 50mm normal i think…. thats the lens which should have come out. Whats needed is a pancake 40mm. Hold the blueberries… make is short stack..
