I photographed my Leica gear for insurance purposes so I thought I'd share the result. From left to right - F4.5/280mm Leitz Canada Telyt, EVF2, M11-P with Apo Summicron 35mm, Voigtlander Heliar F4.5/15mm, Zeiss Biogon F2.8/21mm, F3.4/135mm Apo-Telyt M, F2.8/28mm Elmarit M, M11 with F1.4/50mm Summilux, F4/90mm Macro-Elmar M, F2/90mm Apo Summicron and the Macro-Adapter M. Of all these lenses I like the Apo Summicron 35mm best and it's the most used. [ATTACH type="full"... Camera porn - show us your gear ..read more

As a former (and likely future) M shooter, I never understood the Leica Q. That is, until I had a kid and realized my manual focus skills are not as good as I thought (at least in low light). I tried the X2D with their newer lenses and found myself falling back on manual in many situations. The GFX fares much better, but I find it cumbersome to use. Will the Q3 (or future Q3 mono) be good enough in AF for a toddler in low light, or do I just accept my fate? I live too far away for a rental... Thoughts on Q3 autofocus ..read more

The YouTuber Matt Osborne compares the Thypoch Simera 28mm f1.4 lens to the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f1.5 lens for Leica Mount. He took the Simera 28mm f/1.4 and his Leica M10 to London for street photography, and compared Simera 28mm f/1.4 with Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5 in terms of sharpness, bokeh, vignette, and color rendition. The Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 lens is visually sharper and has a silver nose, while the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5 is cooler in color...

I got the 28-50 yesterday and sat down this morning to get familiar with it. It isn't coded so I added it to my manual lens selection which showed up on the camera as a 28. Took a couple tests and looked at the files in C1. They all show a FL of 28 even though I shot the entire spread. Don ..read more

Im hoping this is the correct forum to post this too so please let me know if it needs to be elsewhere! My M6 needs an CLA and the person I have used here in Vancouver unfortunately passed away last year. (We miss you Horst!) Looking at options over the border I have come across Red Dot Camera Repair in Seattle. Has anyone used them before and what was the experience like? The reason I am interested because it appears I can kill two birds with one stone as they also fix the EO2 errors in... Leica CLA recommendations ..read more

The past 4-months haven’t been the best. Two surgeries to correct a bowel blockage and partial colon removal and the second to insert a port for chemo. I am by no means complaining folks! It also seems that the arthritis in my left hand is flaring up more often. Hell, I’m 76-years old and very lucky to even be here having survived a war, being shot and a head-on accident. So why am I writing this here in the Leica section? Feb 2010, I bought my first Leica M9 and fell in love. This was the... Coming back to Leica ..read more
