I look forward to seeing your review of the RF. do tell me if I got anything wrong in the…
So far, I have used the WCL a few times, but have not used the TCL. Perhaps I will reach…
Yes, I do. I get confused. But I think using many cameras is educational and essential when discussing pros and…
I’m a bit confused. The headline states that Leica is dragging the chain but it seems that all modern Leicas…
I loved my pimped up 100XVI but sold it for a nice profit 😁. I have replaced it with the…
I had the WCL and TCL for my X100V. I sold the TCL pretty much immediately as I found it…
Apologies in advance, as this is terribly off-topic. But — amongst the Ricoh GR’s, various M’s and Q’s, several kinds…
Quite. I’m afraid I have a fairly negative view of Leica’s management of the APS-C range. By swapping and changing,…
The excellent user interface of the T/TL2 also comes to mind as another example of throwing the baby out with…
Thanks, Dunk. The TL2 was right in so many ways and I can’t imagine why anyone thought it was a…
I have always been with you on this, Brian, and transfer by SD card was normal. Now, however, I am…
Thanks Joel. It is a mystery why Leica did not add internal storage to the Q3 (not to mention the…
I don’t use Leica Fotos either (except to change settings on the M11-D and install firmware) but I do connect…
I agree on the TL2 (which you corrected from SL2 — an easy slip. The T was ahead of its…
Thanks for a great review! Just ordered one and tested it out. At 18mm slightly less contrast than the 18mm…
Sorry, I meant TL2! Spellchecker?
Don’t forget the Leica SL2! Ahead of the game.
This raises four questions: 1) Which system has the faster transfer speeds to a computer where you store and process…
I have become 100% reliant on the 1TB of internal memory of the Hasselblad (X2D and) X2Dii. It is capable…
PS: High capacity Micro SD cards are so small, there is likely sufficient room in a camera body to permanently…
IF …. a camera’s internal storage is, a permanently installed Micro SD card (as is the case with e.g. discontinued…
The SD card is necessary- that is how I transfer photos to my computer. I do not want to connect…
Hi Mike! Excellent article and thanks for putting it out there. I with you 100 percent! I hope the powers…
Thank you for another excellent and entertaining article. Just curious why you had such an overlap of lenses between the…
I have long been an admirer of the work of Mr Rice, and this photo essay is a wonderfully written…
Thank you Wayne. It was a real pleasure to attend the event and the people I met were very humble…
Thanks for the article Mark. Especially as you built into it to your own philosophy near the end. Honest, simple,…
A very stimulating and interesting article.Thankyou
Maybe I miss something, but is it possible to put the URTH filters on as well as take them off…
As a long time camera club judge (I know, I know, boo hiss) I’ve always been uncomfortable with the way…
Nice
You are right. The simulations act as a guide and can be inspiring. Nothing to stop you processing the RAW…
A very good point, Andrew. I am not brave enough to shoot only JPG or HIF, but the simulations are…
Inconsiderate indigestion vs considered gratification.
The use you make of the film simulations introduces what seems to me an important point: the simulations are a…
Instant gratification versus considered digestion 🙂
I’m really on the fence about film simulations and “looks”. Those wanting to benefit from immediate sharing are likely to…
Im even more of a dud for shooting with an epson rd1, what a dud.
Andrew – Bravo! Some incredible photos. I’m waffling on the Leica Q3 and sorry to give up Sony AR7V. I’m…
That is a very important distinction Chris, and worthy of a longer discussion.
I totally agree. The question now in 2025 is perhaps, how do we view photographs rather than how do we…
I thought it was interesting to juxtapose this article with Andrew Tobin’s discussion of how he prepared his photos to…
Hi Paul – I’m sure we’d like to hear about how you go about creating a zine, and also what…
Andy, it’s fascinating to read your progress with the book – and good to hear you’ve hit the target and…
So were there any changes to DxO FilmPack? I am still seeing DxO FilmPack 7 on the website which I…
What a superbly positive comment!
Sir, as a retired American Legion Service Officer I urge you to go to your closest American Legion facility and…
Thanks to all for your kind comments. With our words and our photographs we have an opportunity to make the…
My spouse did her internship at the VA Hospital in Texas. After the presidential election, one of the first things…
Having never been to Chicago this was a really good introduction for me, showing momentary scenes that you wouldn’t normally…
Yes, the SL is bulky and heavy, some of the objectives also. But for me it “lays” well in the…
When going to Milano, do not forget the “apericena” (Aperitif/Dinner), ordering a drink around 06:00 pm and you would get…
Thank you for such a wonderful journey of your time on the streets of Chicago. Your images are amazing, and…
Great read! The Light L16 had so much promise with its innovative approach to photography. It’s a shame it didn’t…
First rate writing and visual storytelling. Your open heart and obvious love for humanity are potent components of the art…
Thanks, Jon. Your remark sent me 50 years into the past when I was lecturing at Complutensis Madrid. The Math…
“Do you think I can find a sputino in North America?” You can find a “spuntino” but it’s likely to…
I like the combination of travelogue and work photography. I enjoyed your description of the difficulties and concerns photographing in…
Hi Keith, great reading, I first bought the TL when it was launched and then changed into TL2 once that…
I found this to be an interesting mix: personal journey with cameras, travel (do you think I can find a…
Many thanks Jörg-Peter. Skye is indeed incredibly memorable and I hope you can make it back. Yes, Glas will be…
Wouldn’t it be nice if DJI’s subsidiary Hasselblad moved over to L-Mount — not that this is likely, it’s just a…
Thanks, Dunk. To me, this suggests a Leica software bug rather than a specific problem with the third-party accessories. The…
Not to mention a boost for Fujifilm, a company which still seems to make a crust or two out of…
In 2022 I purchased direct from China, a set of Viltrox L-mount extension tubes for use with my Leica T…
Also, on the L-mount Alliance: https://dji-rumors.com/2025/09/02/will-dji-announce-a-new-l-mount-mirrorless-on-september-15/
That is indeed pretty disappointing. They clearly have the expertise, and as they offer changing mounts as a service I…
Dear Andrew, what a wonderful project. I have wonderful memories of Skye where I was several times during my abroad…
Dear Alistair, Thank you so much for sharing this information. Obviously, you are so much closer to this subject, all…
I agree, Viltrox joining the L-mount alliance is very interesting. I would love to see those AIR lenses on my…
This is very positive news. I would love their 13mm f1.4 for my CL, especially since Sigma disappointed by not…
Thanks Paul, much appreciated. You could always spot good value! Enjoy Brisbane.
Hi Andy. With an inevitable gulp at the cost – relax, I know how expensive it is to produce something…
Hi Mike and Jõrg-Peter A little bit more information has re-surfaced from my distant memory. My initial investigation (more than…
Hi Geoffrey, Many thanks for your comments on the article. That this X20 review continues to get views is, frankly,…
Thanks so much for your comment! The LUMIX 20-60mm really is a little gem. I am traveling with it, and…
Hi Keith, Thank you for an excellent review. I’m 56, shooting for about 30 years now. always used Japanese systems.…
Alistair, Thank you for this. Very interesting. Sorry for the delay in publication. It was held in the moderation queue…
That’s very useful info William, thanks. I am not doubting your Gaelic prowess whatsoever, and note the differences between Scottish…
Here in Ireland 100% of people would say that ‘glas’ is ‘green’. It is our national colour and it would…
Hi Donald, thanks for your input and your valid concern about spreads. Most of the images in the book are…
I looked into the matter of 6-bit coding about 10 years ago, and found that Leica had patent protection that…
The images and concept are great, but printing images across the binding destroys them. This may look good on a…
Hi Josh, Excellent question. I think it was a matter of timing and first impressions. Before buying the M240, I…
Thanks Fazal. I haven’t triggered the first print run yet, but it has been a complex process getting to the…
Hi William – thanks for the comment. I have been thoroughly sheep-dipped into the world of Gaelic, and the many…
I am definitely looking forward to part 2 and a description of the printing process. Two decades ago, I went…
Lovely work, Andrew. I really like the shining road picture leading the eye to the mountains behind. There is some…
May I ask, what is it the M11 offers that garnered a connection where the M240 failed?
A belated thank you for your fascinating family story. My father as a “junior” officer also had to deal with…
Tough gig, well described and photographed. Thanks!
Hi Brian, I didn’t see your response to Mahesh until after I posted my reply about the M11-V. Now I…
I must have missed that when reading about it. Leica calls the framlines in the Q3 “digital zoom” and the…
Hi Jono, I echo your point that the M11 has gorgeous files! The rendering reminded me of my lovely M9…
Thanks Tom. You are the only person who has described the review as “short”, which pleases me. All 10,600 words…
A very thorough and enjoyable short review Mike. I love the 65:24 aspect ratio but can apply it easily enough…
Hi Brian, I feel your pain. I have some chronic neck and shoulder issue as well, so can’t enjoy carrying…
How about the 20-60mm to go with the Panasonic S5II. Great travel lens. I recently took that and a Q3…
The built in EVF M11-V will have digital zoom, evf with 5.76 and diopter compensation, focus aids! What more can…
As far as I know, the M11 is the only one with internal storage. Neither of the Qs, nor the…
