Jack MacD replied to the topic M10 monochrom necessary if getting the M11? in the forum M Monochrom 3 years, 5 months ago
Do you just shoot B&W? If so, I get the idea that the M11 shooting converted B&W may match, but not exceed the M10M. Therefore not a reason to change.
I have a M10M and an M11. When I want to shoot B&W I use the M10M. Having a B&W camera helps me concentrate on structure rather than color. The issue for me will be if when the M11M comes out, if I…[Read more] -

I've downloaded the CL 2.0 and 4.0 firmware update. About to download the 4.1 update. Do I need to download each firmware update i.e. 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, etc. to ensure I capture all the updates or will downloading the latest update (4.1) capture ALL the updates?

Construction and ergonomics are certainly different. They feel entirely different in hand, with the Leica featuring an all-metal barrel and the standard, great feel of focus and zoom rings. The Sigma feels and sounds hollow and plasticky, and has a very grindy plastic-on-plastic feel on the zoom and focus rings. And optically, based on our internal head-to-head testing, the Leica offered superior results. Now, this might be purely down to Leica's more stringent quality control requirements and tighter tolerances, but that is also something that you are guaranteed to get with the Leica lens. For a full breakdown and to see the testing, check out our Red Dot Forum Camera Talk episode on the 24-70 f/2.8 lens here: https://youtu.be/IAxlRBSD2jQ

Agreed! This is a game-changer for landscape photography and from-the-hip street shooting alike.

Did I hear correctly that Leica was going to release new firmware for the SL-2 lenses that would allow for adjustment of focus throw? I have been waiting for this but seen no announcement of such. Thanks in advance…Peter

Jack MacD replied to the topic Fast, Wide Lens for Astrophotography in the forum M Lenses 4 years, 2 months ago
Mike,
I have not used either the 35 1.4 older model or the 28 2.0 for astrophotography. I don’t believe vignetting is an issue with the 21 but if that’s not your preferred field of view, go with a 35. You have also reduced your cost. What is the issue is what ISO works best on your Sony. If you are willing to shoot at say 3,200 you don’t need…[Read more] -

That’s an easy choice but not inexpensive.

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.
