fotografz replied to the topic Leica 120 mm CS: AF not working in the forum S Lenses 10 years, 10 months ago
Unfortunately my CS120 just became victim to the same issue.
Whirling noise, no AF. Had to remove the battery to stop it. Cleaned contacts etc, etc. no go,
Stopped right in the midst of a fashion shoot with an expensive model. Other lenses are fine.
What a massive PITA!
Seems I can't complete a shoot without some issue with the S system.

Your question is a bit confusing.
When you say “Profoto airplay” do you mean Profoto AIR Transceiver or Profoto AIR Sync?
Profoto AIR and Pocket Wizard are not compatible. One cannot trigger the other. Only Profoto AIR Receiver is built into the B1,
which means you will need a Pocket Wizard plugged into the Profoto B1.So yes, you will need…[Read more]

Me too Tim!
Just decided right after the Photokina announcements … and got it
After the move to CMOS for the (007), and not liking the cosmetics of the SE, I decided to grab a (006) while a new one could be had.
Sold the S2P to a friend for a good price, and the move cost me less than I expected, so it was a no brainer. Three more years of c…[Read more]

Had the chance to shoot with the new X (Typ 113). With a wider aperture and a closer minimum focusing distance, you're able to get up closer to you subject and get more bokeh than you could with the X2.

Kirsten Vignes replied to the topic firmware issue in the forum Leica T 11 years, 2 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]

Don't worry. You can just update to the latest firmware without loading the interim versions.

First, I'd suggest using Adobe Lightroom, not Apple Photos to process the RAWfiles from the V-Lux. Secondly, the Col Effects apply only to JPGs generated in camera, not to RAWfiles. If you are shooting RAW only, you wouldn't see the effects in the computer.
Bill,
We always recommend shooting in RAW and processing in the latest version of Lightroom. LR5 is a bit long in the tooth. I'd suggest you subscribe to the Adobe CC Photography Plan which includes Lightroom Classic CC and Photoshop CC.
Though this original review is now 11 years old (I'm writing this in the Fall of 2025), I found it both intriguing and helpful as I was considering the purchase of a lightly-used V-Lux Typ 114. I went ahead and bought the camera and must say that, so far, it's a delightful and versatile photographic device. In spite of its relative bulk, it is surprisingly lightweight, and AF is much quicker than I had expected. Confession: some years ago I owned another large superzoom bridge camera, the generally highly regarded Sony RX10 Mark IV, which had a superb (and enormous) Zeiss branded zoom lens with a fixed f/2.8 maximum aperture. It was also surprisingly heavy, and the Sony menus were irritatingly complex (to me) and non-intuitive. The Typ 114 feels significantly lighter in hand – a result of its largely thermoplastic body & lens construction, as opposed to the RX10M4's heavier metal frame – but the 114 feels almost svelte. And, so far at least, its Pana-Leica lens rivals the Sony-Zeiss one in quality. I have to say that, even 11 years later, this is a very VERY cool camera. So my thanks to you, Kirsten, for the initial review 🙂
