    Is Leica Really Just a Street / People System?

    Agreed. I have used my Mamiya 7 II for documentary and my M camera for landscape. I did not die, I was not arrested nor was I deported. :grin:

    Leica M10 coming on Thursday 1-19-17??

    I'm very glad to see that Leica decided to commit to still photography and ditch the video mode in the M10. If I want to make videos, I will get a real video camera. The battery issue is a disappointment IMHO. It would have been better to retain the M240 battery, but that was apparently not...

    Leica M10 coming on Thursday 1-19-17??

    According to "The Big Recap" ( Leica M10 camera rumors: the big recap | Leica Rumors ), the new M10 will have these two features - Maximum ISO of 50,000 - but the ISO dial reads 100-6400... Huh??

    Leica M10 coming on Thursday 1-19-17??

    Word on the street is that Leica will release the M240 camera's successor (aka the M10) on Thursday 1-19-17. Has anyone heard anything along these lines? There is much speculation afoot about this (allegedly) pending M camera release - what are your thoughts?

    Is Leica Really Just a Street / People System?

    JMHO but I can't agree with the above thoughts. In my experience, the M camera system is second to none for street photography, but it is far from a one trick pony. The M system is an outstanding documentary camera; it is also a great system for travel photography. With judicious lens...

    Which ONE Camera/ Lens Combo For Multiple USES

    Another possibility might be the M-P 240 with two small lenses - the Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH for groups and the Leica Summarit-M 75mm f/2.4 for portraits. These two lenses are bargain priced (by Leica M lens standards). They are small, light weight and produce outstanding image...

    What's your favorite Leica?

    My favorite Leica of all is my M-P 240. It is easy to work with, it's small and highly portable to the point that I carry it with me 99.5% of the time, it is quiet in operation, the printed image quality is outstanding and it truly a beautiful little piece of machinery.

    Leica 28 mm f/1.4 Summilux Asph - Some Pics

    I find myself being drawn to this lens. I think one of the things that holds me back (besides money) is the fact that I have a 35 Summicron ASPH. Still, the 28 Summilux is a totally different lens. It will do things that my trusted 35/2 'cron will not, and I am quite comfortable getting...

    Leica M 28mm Summilux ASPH coming in June

    At long last, the highly coveted 28mm Summilux M ASPH will be available beginning in June: Summilux-M 28mm f/1,4 ASPH. // M-Lenses // Leica M // Photography - Leica Camera AG The price in USD will be $5950, or $6118, according to two different sources. Either price is fine with me, as I was...

    Nocti or 75 lux? As well, 21 or 24 lux?

    Don't overlook the f/1.0 Noctilux - it too is a Mandler design and is an outstanding performer. It is also lighter than the 0.95 Noctilux, but is still big and bulky compared to most other M lenses. A good M kit for your stated purposes - street, city-architecture, casual, family outings...

    What should I pay for a M6?

    That pretty much holds true for the U.S. market: $900-1150 U.S. for a decent, servicable M6 showing a moderate amount of cosmetic wear, but fully functional in terms of mechanics.

    Apple "Photos" bug is incompatible w/Monochrom 246 DNG files

    There is a glitch in apple's "Photos" app that can wipe out your image library; it appears that the problem lies in Apple's CoreFoundation, not in the Monochrom. The result can be the loss of your photo library. From the PetaPixel article: Applicable links: Leica issued a service advisory for...

    T or X, which would you choose as a 2nd body?

    How about this one? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1082918-REG/leica_18440_x_digital_compact_camera.html

    Film M or Monochrom - which would you choose for a B&W project?

    Interesting comments so far. The M/M seems to be preferred for a number of reasons: Variable ISO, control in image processing, ease of use, cost (no film & developing). What about image quality, though? Many film users say that the image quality of a film print at reasonable sizes such as...
