The only increases on M bodies are film M's. Hmmmm.

Understand your concerns. Ludwig is the internal codename of the camera. We host the firmware files since Leica has a bad habit of moving or removing the files. This allows our users to find and download older versions of firmware that Leica no longer provides access to.

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.

I'm guessing that the Visoflex 2 does not have GPS, since the M11 can get that from the Leica Photos app?

Luxurious images. Thanks David. Much appreciated.
Greetings from Australia!

Same here, updated my SL2 to version 4 and 24-90mm lens to version 2.1.
However attaching 90-280mm lens shows “No firmware on SD card”

In accordance with the Press Release Notes, a Lightroom Tethered Plugin is also available, but I have been unable to locate the download.

Amazing information providing by your article

Just click the big red button in the article to download the firmware update to your computer.

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?

Thanks for reading! It's always fun to put these together and to see how our bags have changed over time. The mini Eyelead is a game changer! I bet if you asked Josh nicely he'd send you a few business cards.

I just purchased the small, Billingham bag you recommended and I love it. Thanks for the recommendation.

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

I want it for all Leica cameras.

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

You could get your rangefinder calibrated by Leica Customer Care in New Jersey, or DAG Camera in Wisconsin.
