Love it, but my Black Chrome M-A will have to suffice.

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.

Thank you for posting this. Very helpful even for the SL2S firmware file!

nice

After updating my SL2 to FW 4.0 and import old user profile this issue appears:
In the LCD screen the number in the user figure (head and shoulder) disappear ofter switch of an on the camera and in the main meny as well. No user profile indicate as active but they are exept for indication!!!
No help from Leica support in Germany get.

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.

Understand your concerns. Ludwig is the internal codename of the camera. We host the firmware files since Leica has a bad habit of moving or removing the files. This allows our users to find and download older versions of firmware that Leica no longer provides access to.

David,
You certainly covered a lot of ground with the M11 in a short period of time! Thanks for the terrific review and beautiful images. As I often do with your reviews, I'll be coming back time and time again to re-read the information you have provided. As a side note, your images with the 18mm /3.8 APSH lens have put that one on my wish list – I hadn't really considered buying it before now.
Best regards

(XX Mega Pixels) + (XX Bit)s + (XX Blendenstufen) = XX Millions PBB
or in résumé XX MB 60 MB

For M11
60 MP + 14 Bits + 15 Blendenstufen

See in German language
mit einer Auflösung von 14 Bit erfasst und die Dynamik erreicht bis zu 15 Blendenstufen.

with this code, MB instead of MP you give attention to a mix of resolution/Color depth/ Dynamic range . For the M11 you see that the sensor is giving more than 15 for dynamic range, which is new. BR jj

The M11 does an incredible job at capturing light and makes you feel like you're creating a scene rather than just snapping a shot. Along with the nearly $4,500 Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens that Leica provided me, the colors and light that the M11 produced felt like the closest replication to what my eyes saw.

Nice photos; nice M. But…”ultimate”? I do not think that word means what you think it means. I'm confident that Leica will make another.

I'm guessing that the Visoflex 2 does not have GPS, since the M11 can get that from the Leica Photos app?

Luxurious images. Thanks David. Much appreciated.
