Josh Lehrer wrote a new post, Price Reduction on Leica Summarit-M f/2.5 Lenses 11 years, 2 months ago
Having announced a line of redesigned Summarit-M Lenses at Photokina, Leica is now in the process of phasing out the current f/2.5 Summarit lens line. This means that Leica Store Miami is able to offer these excellent lenses at reduced pricing, brand new.
The Summarit-M f/2.5 lenses offer a great combination of light weight, fast focus throw, and superb optical performance. In addition to being lovely to use on an M camera, they can be especially handy when used on smaller form cameras like the Leica ( Typ 701). Here is a list of the reduced-rice lenses Leica Store Miami has in stock:
Leica Summarit-M 35mm f/2.5 – $1,695 (Was $1,950)
Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 – $1,295 (Was $1,750)
Leica Summarit-M 75mm f/2.5 – $1,695 (Was $1,950)
Leica Summarit-M 90mm f/2.5 – $1,895 (Was $2,150)
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions via email or phone at 305-921-4433.

David Farkas replied to the topic Who plans on using 4K video? in the forum Leica S (Typ 007) 11 years, 2 months ago
Peter,
One big difference in the video specs between the S 007 and the NX1 is the color sampling. The S 007 uses 4:2:2 while the NX1 uses 4:2:0. Having seen comparisons, the color accuracy and quality of 4:2:2 is vastly superior.
Granted, there are other cameras offering Cinema 4K capture with 4:2:2, but none using medium format sensors and…[Read more]

Bob,
My impression is that the video quality from the S 007 will be superior and more purpose-driven than that of the M 240. Still, the M40 video does actually look pretty good. We filmed our entire video instruction series on the S 006 with the M 240. You can view the series here.
You are correct that there is no image stabilization for…[Read more]

Peter Dooling wrote a new post, Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 Released with Support for New Leica Products 11 years, 2 months ago
Today, Adobe released Camera Raw 8.7 and DNG Converter 8.7 RC (release candidate) with support for the following Leica products:
- Leica V-Lux (Typ 114)
- Leica SUMMICRON-S 100 mm f/2 ASPH (Leica S)
The CC and CS6 versions of ACR are available on Adobe's website immediately.
Hopefully this is an indicator that an Adobe Lightroom update will be coming soon with the same support.

I would have loved to see HDMI v1.4 to carry 4K as well, but it was not possible when the MAESTRO II chip was designed for the camera.
Regarding the audio input: the use of an external recorder is usually the preferred method with timecode syncing between the camera, the audio recorder and the timecode generator. The Audio adapter has an input…[Read more]

I'm curious how many S users are planning on taking advantage and using 4K video on the new S 007.
Is this limited to commercial shooters or are we looking at a new presentation medium for landscape/travel as well?

Josh Lehrer wrote a new post, Leica V-LUX (Typ 114), X (Typ 113) and X-E Now Shipping 11 years, 3 months ago
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]

Your review of the S 100mm f/2 is very compelling. Put me down for the Noctilux of the S world!
Have a safe trip back to Florida.

Looks like this is going to be a really nice portrait lens. Can't wait to try it.
Leica Summicron-S 100mm f/2 ASPH is really a pretty lens
I would love to try this lens out!
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.
