    Jack MacD started the topic Autumn Lake in B&W in the forum Images to Share 10 years, 9 months ago

    I am working on a project for a B&W book focusing on shoreline. I have 23 images so far, here are four.
    Yes Kipper, is you line up three of these four, you could have a triptych.
    Which do you recommend?

    This is the project that led me to try a T vs S test that is discussed separately.

    I have been shooting a series with the S in B&W on a lake. I might upload a few examples eventually.
    Fellow Leica photographer Gary has been showing me some excellent work with his T, so I decided to do a bit of a test with the two cameras.
    I shot a scene with the T and then tried to duplicate it with the S.
    This is a real world test where I am…[Read more]

    David,
    I have now lived with your new format awhile.
    1. I think your features of NEws Reviews and Field Tests are handled much better than before.
    If I send someone to the RedDot it appears as a better sourced of Leica info than anywhere else.
    Congratulations.

    2. The Forum just takes getting used to it.

    Now that Photokina has wrapped up and we have had time to learn all about the amazing group of new Leica products, we wait patiently for our first deliveries. We are pleased to report that as of today, Leica Camera is shipping the new V-LUX (Typ 114), the X (Typ 113) in both black and silver, and the X-E (Typ 102). While the products might not be immediately in stock due to existing pre-orders, this is great news as it fits right in with Leica's initial product delivery estimates and bodes well for users looking to get their hands on the new cameras before the holidays. You can look forward to more photos and reviews of the new products here on Red Dot Forum in the coming weeks!

    If you have any questions about the new products or wish to place an order, please feel free to call 305-921-4433, email us, or stop by in person at Leica Store Miami to see the new toys firsthand!

    Shawn,

    The new Summarits should start shipping in the next few weeks. The 75 and 90 will come first, followed by the 35 and 50.

    Optically, they should offer the same performance as the first-generation Summarits, which is to say they will be excellent. They feature the same basic optical design, but have slightly faster maximum apertures and…[Read more]

      There is no CS version planned for the 100mm Summicron-S. My understanding is that the aperture is too wide to allow for the smaller CS mechanism.
