I certainly join the above users when saying that your review was a substanciel aid for getting the set up of the new FW in place – the very best advice about this topic found on the net – in particular because of its VISUAL presentation. Thanks a lot!

The M60 has different firmware than the M-D 262. I'm 99% sure that the upgrade is not compatible.

I use both Windows and Mac OS. I'd definitely appreciate a Windows version soon, but my understanding is that the ball is in Adobe's court, not that Leica is trying to snub Windows users.

I will always have Michael next to my heart. Literally. When Luminous Landscape issued DVDs, I bought all of them, and ripped the tracks to MP4 i-device-compatible videos. There are 11 videos on Iceland alone. The good news is, instead of having a nameless or faceless presenter of scenes, Michael and his associates are participants and presenters in these photographic adventure videos. And having them at hand at all times, they continue to inspire me as well as others I come into contact with.

Thank you for catching the typo!

Here's one Oberwerth user who can testify to the outstanding quality and aesthetics of Oberwerth bags. They are an excellent value.

For the S (Typ 006), you will have to use Image Shuttle 2.2, but the procedure remains the same.

I am in a Windows 10 environment. Can I tether in a Windows environment?

(I am a big fan of C1 and I hope I can make use of it with my 007).

Thanks,

You can't set White Balance to the default DNG profile, but you can create a preset. Alternatively, what I was doing in my testing was to manually set a gray card white balance in the camera before shooting the tethered session. I find this technique works well, and have used it for LR as well going back to the S2.

I have never been so happy with a firmware update before. 🙂 thanks for breaking down the updates! greatly appreciated since exploring the updates last night on the camera where very DIY.

Thanks Josh!!

There might be some inherent hardware-based per-pixel noise reduction in the imaging pipeline, but a DNG wouldn't have software NR applied to it like a high ISO JPG shot in-camera would. You'd still have to apply NR in post processing, just as before when a DNG+JPG was captured. The JPG used for preview would have NR; the DNG wouldn't.

I enjoyed your review as usual. The lens looks like a stellar performer.

Great review David! Seems like a lens worth having.

Hi David
I hope you're well.
Great report as usual – I had the lens for a week, but I didn't have time to really do it justice.
Hope to get my hands on one again soon.

Correct, there are no strap lugs on the lens itself. I had no issues carrying from just the camera strap. The lens points downwards which doesn't exert the same kind of lateral torque on the lens mount that mounting it to a tripod from the body would. In that case, use the tripod foot to remove the stress on the mount.

I don't know what the stock situation in Hong Kong is like these days. Here in the US, the 90-280 is still in short supply relative to demand.

Mark, unfortunately, the distance scale is only available in meters, even on v3.0.0.0. I made a request/suggestion during my initial testing for the scale to be in feet as well.

David,
Thanks for the walk through.
An easy update. Surprised they jumped from calling it a 2.xxx all the way to 3.0.0.0..0000
I expect 3.00.001 to convert meters into feet. And what other suggestions did you make that they may include on 3.00.002?

I like that it will update my old lenses “automatically” so I will be good to go as soon as the S 350mm is announced.
