Really having fun with the Leica R film system and lenses. Best part is that the R lenses fit on the SL2 also, so I get the best of film and digital! View

    Really incredible images, David. Like many Leica products, it is nice to see how even the original S lenses released (30mm and APO 120mm) in 2008, are still relevant with the S3 in color and resolution. Looking forward to seeing more!

    Just got a roll of film through a new Leica a-la-carte MP body with the 0.58 finder. Its a great rangefinder view for the 28mm and 35mm. This goes great with the 0.85 finder a-la-carte for the 50-90mm range. As much fun that digital work is, I still find black and white film rewarding…

    David F., do you like the multi filter case for on-location, or do you prefer the individual cases for the glass filters? Seems like one case is ideal, but then you get wet weather locations and might prefer to have one case per filter…

    In reply to: Josh Lehrer wrote a new post, Leica SL Firmware 3.1 Released Today, Leica Camera has released firmware version 3.1 for the SL (Typ 601) full-frame mirrorless camera. Firmware 3.1's primary purpose is to improve autofocus performance of the Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH lens ( […] View

    I updated my Leica SL and the Summilux SL 50 last night. The updated firmware to the lens is much better, in my opinion. The motor drive actually seems more quiet and the focus is definitely faster. It is not as fast as the two zooms, but this should be expected because the Summilux has a larger, heavier set of elements to move for focusing. I…[Read more]

    Interesting Jack. I also read that every 18 years we get a long totality. In 2047 we should have another solar eclipse in the US with 6 minutes of totality! It will be interesting to see what will be the Leica of that year!

    Sunil, those are great photos, and film to boot! I wanted to try some film shots, but did not have two lenses that I could get a proper filter on and that mounted to a film body. Thanks for the exposure suggestions!

    Jack, thanks for the kind comments! To answer you directly, yes, the sky was a darker blue at totality than during the ‘regular' part of the day before and after. One note I made was how defined the shadows were during the darkest parts of the eclipse, the ambient light was just low. It was odd to feel like it was an overcast day, but still see…[Read more]

      Good work.
      This was my first time seeing a total solar eclipse here in Missouri. My conclusions are that a partial photographs just like is looks, because you must shoot though a dark filter and then the sky is black. But in total the photos do not easily show what the eye observes. Where I was, the sky in total was never black, but dark blue,…[Read more]

      In 1980, I witnessed in India, best way to shoot during totality is
      (1) Remove ND or Dark filter.
      (2) At Iso 400, Shutter speed 1/60 and take different images at all Apertures. This way you can record all phases from Baliy's Beads and different layers of Corona…
      (3) same setting, but keep Aperture at F/8.0 & shoot at different shutter speed…[Read more]

      Now we will be ready for 2024. A fellow photographer predicted that by 20124 the DR of sensors will allow for a single shot to be able to pull out the range we need.

    Thanks David, great review. Really nice to see the dynamic range and ability to pull out shadows when needed. Also nice to see the 10,000 iso shots come out with great color and so smooth. – David Knoble

    David, certainly jealous you are there, but glad you are sharing so much information! Leica keeps making it difficult to pick between the M series and the SL series. It's great to see a roadmap of what's coming. Thanks!
