    Leica Q3 - 60mp

    I love tilt screeens, hate the fixed ones... Finally Leica caught up with other camera sensors and pdaf but I guess the lens is too big to af quickly, similar to RX1R II. Overgaard have the review with other Leica camera photos.... I like Jono's review as he is the official Leica tester (he...

    Leica Got an email from Leica ~ M11 teaser?

    https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/leica-m11-initial-review "The M11's shutter blades are open much of the time, allowing the main image sensor to be used for metering. They quickly swipe across the sensor when exposure is initiated (in mechanical shutter mode, at least)."

    Leica Got an email from Leica ~ M11 teaser?

    I think so. I didn't read it fully, but why is it full with his own advertisement and m10P/SL2 photos instead of M11 photos that is expected in a review.... Kai also released the M11 video yesterday and put a password for access later...

    Leica Leica SL2 - s

    RX1R II is nice for people shooting, but wide angle shooting at my travels is also my problem with RX1R II... Q2 solves that problem, but I even went lighter with Canon G1X III attached on my belt for casual shooting on my last vacation. However, the long end @ f/5.6 is slow with G1X III...

    Leica Leica SL2 - s

    As Matt said I don't see much difference in your shots btw SL2s and M10. Sl2/Q2 files are much bigger without lossless compression (not processing but more storage problem for me)... Q2 is same size as M10, not compact camera, but much smaller than SL2s (same size as my old Canon 5D dslr). Q2...

    Leica Inexpensive 28?

    I like the Avenon (Kobalux) 28mm f3.5 ltm better than Voigt 28mm f1.9 and Minolta 28mm f2.8 with Sigma FP. Avenon is good with the digital sensors including Sony esp when you stopped down to f8. It is very small and has high vignetting wide open. I learned it from a Japanese photographer. The...

    Leica Leica: Nothing makes sense and everything is wonderful

    Maybe Leica didn't see the m4/3 future based on their sale of 4/3 cameras, not many released...

Sony / Zeiss relationship is very similar...

    Leica Leica: Nothing makes sense and everything is wonderful

    Color is subjective and changes with every camera even with same camera manufacturer as Ad said... It is same with even Leica's as I used CL, SL2, Q2.

    Leica TTArtisan to announce a 50mm f/1.4 M-mount lens!

    Yes, flaring is the common theme with the Chinese lenses... There is also onion ring bokeh, otherwise it has nice bokeh.... I am more interested in the new CV 50mm 1.5 II due to its size similar to ZM 50mm 1.5, but it is more expensive than older used CV or ZM lenses. It is also priced $200...

    Leica Digital CL with adapted lenses?

    I don't see problem using LTM lenses on CL. From Jono review he said CL works better with M lenses than Fuji cameras due to its sensor stack... Also you can choose a similar Leica M profile with CL to correct some of the lens problems. However APSC cuts most of the problem areas of the older...
