Thanks guys.
i had the T set on auto everything, and I learned that the T auto selects a nice low 100 ISO which provided f5.6 at 1/500. Which with a 23mm lens would normally have been fine. If I had chosen say 800 ISO I would have had a bit more speed, say 1/1500 and f 11, and had a perfect shot. The “face recognition” focus mode for some reason…[Read more]

Ok,
Kipper always jokingly suggests I do triptychs, so here one is.
Joe and Gary always suggest B&W so here it is.

I think if this is going to turn into art for huge display rather than a snap shot, I will have to return and shoot this scene with the S. The noise is showing up just a bit in the B&W version. But the T did a very good job…[Read more]

rofri,
I like this particular vantage point in this photo, and I will use my S on it next time.
While I am an S owner, that shot was with a T. I used the 23mm T lens.

The T was not targeted at “professional users” The S and M are. But years ago, in say sports, being an amateur was higher praise for someone than being professional. Being…[Read more]

Nope. The stock Lee holder is designed for resin filters, so there are three narrow tracks. Schneider modifies the filter holder so that two, thicker glass filters can be accommodated.

Doug,
I expect it will be a race to have someone show how they carved out a set of holes for the battery and the SD card to be accessed.
Surely a third party will offer such a service soon.

Did I mention that I got a T-snap?

Yeah, I got an Orange T-snap. I really didn't understand how this snap-on worked before. I mistakenly thought it was sort of thin rubber. It's not, it's hard but flexible plastic. I like it more than I expected.

No, I don't expect Leica will do this for the M or the S, but for a younger target, colors…[Read more]

OK David,
Your review convinced me to purchase a T.
And, instead of reading the manual, I reviewed your review.

The shutter is very quiet.
The handling is excellent.
The iPhone remote is magic. I set it up as a hot spot. It allowed me to do a quick test of
ISO performance, 100 vs 12,500 without a tripod, just using a table.…[Read more]

I welcome that, but for us poor guys and girls who've invested in an interchangeable lens system, a curved sensor is most likely not going to be in the cards.

This is the installation of nine of the 16″x24″ prints by Joe Donovan. in a 3 X 3 matrix.
The client clearly has a very modern loft type house, that is built on top of a seven story condo in the 3rd Ward and wanted very industrial looking photos to compliment the neighborhood. Lots of curves in this loft, so they chose lots of curves in the…[Read more]

This 3rd ward series has progressed over the last year.
Here are a few more shots. They are all now B&W

There is now a home for this series. Joe Donovan printed the entire series 24″x16″.
Some of which were then framed and arranged in a 3 X 3 matrix ( three triptychs )
The result will be shown in my next posting

Do you use a thumb rule for the hyperfocal distance at different apertures? It is on the M lenses but absent from the S lenses.

Bob,

I found a good hyperfocal position with some experimentation. Generally, when shooting landscape on a tripod, I'm almost always shooting at f/11 or…[Read more]

I'd add that when I use wide angle S lenses at infinity, I almost never allow the camera to auto focus focus to infinity. In my mind, doing so effectively discards a large portion of my usable DOF. I usually set the hyperfocal position manually and just shoot everything at this setting. Then, on a 30mm, I can get DOF on everything from 3ft to…[Read more]

Mike Johnston of TOP TheOnLinePhotographer liked the huge version of “Beside Still Waters” and wanted to offer to his readers a sample of what an S print can be. The print is 36″x24″.
The offer can be viewed…[Read more]

I have had that infinity issue with my 35 when the subject is very far and very tiny detail without a clear object to focus on. I now know to double check the setting and manually readjust. That is a function of SLRs to me. My split screen doesn't really help either in that subject. That is the advantage of a rangefinder when using wide lenses.…[Read more]

Thanks.

Nothing special, just started with my standard T preset in LR then made small tweaks.
