    Hi David. I just shot in very bright sunshine today, without noticing that. I've switched to mechanical shutter, however. Have you noticed any difference between those? Also, is there a difference from the jpeg to the dng? Interesting. Glad it's not showing banding in the dng file!

    Thanks, David. Sheer numbers of shots taken improves my chances, heh. We're working with a reduced color palette in the winter, so creating interest can be a challenge.

    Leica Winter 2017-2018 Images

    Thanks David and Christine. Quite a few municipalities around Minneapolis and Saint Paul had the forethought (or just plain luck) to create large nature parks. They've been upgraded with paved trails, interpretive signs and the like. These can butt up against commercial projects or freeways, so...

    Leica Song duo and dancers

    Yes, with the 18-56mm. Cranked the heck out of the ISO to keep shutter above 1/60th second. Was having problems grabbing focus with AF single in the low-light. Tried a few different modes (single-point, multiple point), but nothing seemed to "grab." Still like the shots though. Critical focus...

    Careful I don't sprain a thumb while thumb twiddling here. Is it here yet? Ooh! Time to read a Steve Huff 'CL' review. Best thing to do when you're waiting for a camera to arrive is to read really enthusiastic reviews about it. :biggrin:

    Leica CL + 18mm kit on the way ...

    Made an offer on a demo unit, was countered with a pretty decent price. Snagged that! Commence "twiddling of the thumbs" until arrival ... Although my credo is "Buy Leica - Used," was almost ready to cave-in. Have high-hopes for getting along with the CL. :thumbup:

    Leica Canon LTM 19/3.5. What to expect?

    That's going to be a sharp one, as an educated guess. Nice to find in good condition. Could produce color shifted edges on a digital M, if so manually selecting a similar lens will help the camera correct for that. How many aperture blades?

    Leica Taiwan

    Great photo walk shots, Leia! Love the framing, perspective, and detail of the market vendor shot. The rich reds, and warm lighting for them. Makes me wish I could travel there to explore this market. :2thumbs:

    Leica The CL and Summilux 35mm f1.4 TL

    You want "beast," try the SL lenses. Heh! Waiting for the SL wide zoom, but the 12-90 has a decent "wide-side" for now. I have the TL 18-56 and the 11-23, both are great, decent size. Surprised the 18-56 doesn't have image stabilization, but a great lens regardless. Have the original T and the...

    Leica Leica CL with M21/3.4

    Good looks to both images, Luo. The 21mm SEL is nicely rectilinear here, and quite sharp throughout. Great lens. The second image has just a few spots near saturation, which is just about perfect for displaying the largest dynamic range. Great architectural subject matter. The first image...

    Leica Leica CL with M21/3.4

    Leica M mount versus 3rd Party M mount ... In general, only the Leica is the Leica. Heh! But yes they're so much more expensive. I think the decision comes down to: the Leica has a bit of its own thing going on for experience, and much more subjectively, results. You do pay dearly for that...

    Leica Leica CL with M21/3.4

    Toward telling the CL which lens you're shooting, in the menus manually select a Leica lens that best matches the characteristics of your (less expensive) lens choice. I occasionally shoot Zeiss M-Mount wide-angle lenses, they are marvelously sharp. I "feel" they have a different look than...

    Leica Leica 21mm SEM or Zeiss 21 f2.8

    I think you'll especially like the 21mm SEM on a CL. It's going to be sharp, with great colors and contrast, and it withstand sun flares fairly well too. (I shoot it without a lens hood with few problem shooting into the sun.) Note, it won't look quite as wide for angle of view as it does on...
  39. C

    Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron-M (non-APO)

    Just remember Luo, a 50mm lens on the CL (APS-C) shoots like a 75mm does on a M240 (full-frame) ... Your 21mm f3.4 will shoot about like a 30mm lens on an M240 or one of the Sony A7 series cameras.

    Leica Corrupted Card ......

    Hmm ... Do you work with DNGs or jpegs from the camera? There are free photo editors you can try, like RawTherapee. If it's a lightroom problem, the "skew" won't show up in another photoeditor ...

    Leica Winter's walk with the 21mm SEM-ASPH

    No tripod for mine, Luo. There was enough light to keep the exposure fast.

    Leica Corrupted Card ......

    Only way to test theory one - try another card that you know to be working. First, try a factory reset ... I don't have the manual here with me to know that sequence though. Here's hoping!

    What a difference a few months makes! Wonderful shots of mom and daughter. Which camera and and lens?

    Leica Leica M lens quality control disappointment

    Although it won't make for a perfect experience ... They're pretty flush with SLs. I'm guessing a bit of asking/cajoling would have them put a SL and M lens adapter in your hands as a loaner. (SLs are big and heavy, but excellent beasts.)
  46. C

    Leica Leica CL with M21/3.4

    Question - is that a Leica adapter and is the 21/f3.4 6-bit coded? If "no" to either, the camera can't make reasonable deductions what the f-stop might be - unless you've manually told it what the lens is. The M Leicas do make guesses about f-stop, as does an SL, they put that into the exif. I'm...

    Leica Leica CL with M21/3.4

    There are two primary conditions that focus peaking algorithms have problems with: 1) The picture is too soft overall, such that the focus peaking algorithm doesn't "see" any regions meeting its criteria. 2) Too much of the picture is in focus, such that the algorithm can't reasonably show you...
