My order is in also with Leica Store Miami. I like the white, can't wait. Will make a great boat/party/take anywhere camera. Love the Wifi feature and EVF!

It is not so easy to take pictures while going backwards on a carousel at full speed.

I have shot a few thousand photographs on the M240. It has exceeded my expectations. It surpasses the M9 in many areas. It is a real joy to use and feel fortunate to have mine.

Let me do my best to try and address all of your concerns.

Buffer size is fantastic. I rarely hit the buffer on the new M and when I did it cleared extremely…[Read more]

Thank you, I'm looking for more interesting performers to continue my series. So far no one has responded to my ad for a model that can juggle chainsaws. I'll keep looking.

Leica S2
70mm @ 2.5 CS
1/1000

Another example of using the Central Shutter. There is so much for freedom to control exposure.

I am using Profoto Air Trascievers. They work perfectly 100% of the time at 1/1000 even with multiple lights. I have tested up to 3 lights.

Yes. We use lighting. I have specific lighting techniques I utilize for M photography. Which are completely different from my S work.

Great subject, location, wardrobe, accessories. Very Nice.

On M lenses we manually control the focus and aperture. There is no digital type of communication between the lens and the body. The lenses with 6bit coding simply means the body reads the codes off of the bayonet ring. That could throw you off into thinking there is data being transmitted back in forth but theres not.

Congrats on your M! What lens did you shoot the 2nd picture with?

Beautiful Photographs David!!! WOW!
