William, congratulations on your ennoblement. Another string to your ever lengthening bow!
Jono, I tried Bill Rosauer’s pro-production model here in Montreal. The camera felt compact and easy to use. I am,…
Thanks ! The official number is appallingly low – good to know that the real world performance is fine.
Hi there Peter That’s an interesting question. I loved the CL – but honestly I feel that great 24mp sensor…
Hi John The image doesn’t get darker – that works well. It’s to do with the increasing depth of field…
Hi there It rather sounds like it’s made for you All the best
Hi Tom The round one is estimating the Aperture, and the rectangular one is the self timer light
Fifi’s in the basement and requires THREE knocks!
I agree with your comment partially. There have always been ways to eliminate shake, such as weighting down the tripod…
Haha.
Hi Joni, How do you rate the CL as a support camera for the M11? You get EVF with manual…
Some years ago I would have welcome M body like this, but not anymore. I can and do from time…
You point to the difficulty in focusing at small apertures. Is this just due to the large increase in depth…
As someone with not that good eye sight (astigmatism) this sounds interesting, and promising. In some time maybe can get…
Curious what the two “opening” are on the top plate front. One is rectangular under the shutter speed dial the…
Thank you Chats Pity we couldn’t have done a 3 way job in Montreal (we couldn’t all have had Umbrellas!)
Hi there Jonathan I hope it helps – lots of good things about it. All the best
I do not understand the claim that the EV1 has an advantage when working with tele-lenses, and the picture suggests…
Hi Bruce You make a good point about the pictures. The problem is that the Jono Slack who takes the…
Hi Steven I’m with you over the name, but I think the front is just right. Better, perhaps in real…
Hi there Joel Thank you for that. Not sure it’s for everyone, but I am sure it’s for some people…
Thank you Chats. BW, dunk
That is good to hear Jonathan, a significantly reduced battery life was also my first concern. The built in diopter…
Excellent work as usual, Jono. Well done! Best, Chats
Thanks for the comments, dunk sargent. I will be sure to pass them on. Best, Chats
Thanks for your comments, Joel. Smart companies listen to their patrons and if they can, they offer choices. I’m so…
Delighted that this camera has been launched. With age Rangefinder focusing is becoming more difficult and I was using my…
I’d have considerable potential use for the M EV1 because I use many types of legacy lenses including macro, shift,…
Hi Jonathan, Really enjoyed the article, especially your reflections on using the EV1 versus an M11. Personally, I welcome the…
Hi Jonathan! As you may already know from my email, I loved reading this article and thoroughly enjoyed your fabulous…
Thank you Tom You couldn’t have said anything nicer – I’m here because I take photographs! Writing the articles is…
Is fine Edward – fine enough that I didn’t think to mention it. Shooting in Crete and going for a…
Jonathan, a brilliant technical review of what feels Ike an important step for Leica. I will say, however, that your…
The battery life ….
Fantastic interview! I have spent a lot of time using and experimenting with various M-mount lenses on EVF cameras. Much…
Just one additional thought which I forgot to write yesterday. I can confirm that the Monopan film is made by…
Great article! You might like Valoi’s Easy35/Easy120, which is like Negative Supply but uses tubes so you can create more…
No mention of the NOVOFLEX CASTEL-COP-DIGI slide / film-strip duplicator for use with a regular camera and macro focusing lens,…
As a active photographer since 70,s as a teenager with Pentax MX and later Olympus OM-4 who I still have…
Thanks Don. They really have elevated the M11 for the foreseeable future. Appreciate the comments and glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you, Chris, for your feedback. Compliments on your labour of love. Good to read that you are still browsing…
I’d argue the M11 ticks more boxes since it has an RF and can have an accessory EVF too. Seriously,…
This as I see always was THE most logical step forward for the M Leica. My view, even as a…
I forgot to mention Vuescan software. I used it instead of silverfast and it works with virtually every scanner ever…
Thanks so much, Jono. Thoroughly enjoyed your review. Chats
An excellent article on the current scanning situation. I hated Silverfast as it was not user friendly, expensive, and if…
Brilliant – nicely done Bill and Chats – great interview with someone who seems to me to epitomise what Leica…
The new M EV1 ticks boxes that the M11 does not and will thus affect M11 sales. Will resultant lower…
Wonderful news! This is a brilliant M option. I cannot imagine the wait list – preorder yesterday!
Thank you very much for the interesting article. I guess, the question whether you should digitise the neagtives/ slide film…
Thank you for posting this interesting article. I quote: “The models by Plustek for instance, are not high-end but still…
Yes, I was waiting for Fifi to answer the door! Fine once you’re up to the first floor, but hidden…
Is it a sort of “knock twice and ask for…” type of place? Maybe it’s a front, since it’s in…
I’ve already used it for a sensor clean of my M11. It has a very discreet entrance!
Maybe we need a Gloom & Glam Awards where you have to submit one of each to stand a chance…
That is a different way of looking at these; thanks for posting. Sigh: always more to learn 🙂
I agree, Wayne. I find that most modern photo competitions (dare I mention the illustrious Barnack) concentrate on all that’s…
I think most people, faced with the knowledge that the photograph was taken by a renowned photographer, would conclude that…
I’m not sure I agree with the assessment of the photograph. Sure, having a bit of space between the boy’s…
Some wonderfully imaginative images. They lift the spirit. I luv ‘em.
Some photo contests are beyond my comprehension.
As a newbie, most of the award photos here are ‘over my head’. I can relate to “THE YARD”, about…
As explained in the Leica Manual for the M5 (available in the internet): #1 shoot a blank frame with the…
Great report on the capabilities of the Leica Q2. Are the photographs illustrating the article sooc or have they been…
I totally agree with Andrew’s comments on the use of an umbrella. In my less agile years, I gain much…
Christopher, Thank you very much for both reading my story and also sending your message. The day in question could…

Hello David Thank you for reading along. I happened to be wearing gore-tex running shoes on that rainy day. My…
Hi Andrew, You are 100% right about the benefits of having an umbrella. This old dog has learned a new…

Hello Andrew, I understand what you are saying completely. I too go through moments before I leave home deciding on…
Christopher, Thank you very much for sparing some time to both read my story and also send your message. The…
Wonderful read as usual! Love the detail in the monochrome photos a lot.
Hello Mark, Thank you for a great kick to many of us to get out, not mind the rain, grab…
Wonderful article! I felt something of the experience in reading your words, I am convinced. Did you feel the absence…
Love the interior of Saint Sulpice and splendid roof, great picture.
An umbrella is a hugely underrated photography accessory. I find one very useful for landscape photography to keep spray off…
Rock n’ Roll straps are also excellent and I use them often. I do swap around a lot because my…
Mark, Thank you for your highly amusing article portraying a monochrome photographer’s view of a largely deserted city in the…
All three of my cameras have a Rock’N’Roll strap on them, including my latest one. Comfortable, hard wearing and they…
I am currently testing a prototype of the new lens. Looks good! I am bringing it to the LSI in…
looks like the lens would finally be released this November ! i have preordered mine through a contact in hongkong……
The straps are simple, well-made and traditional. I’ve found the leather quality to be excellent. Mike
Hi Jon, an inspiring article with fascinating images.
You are partly right, Paul, on the question of strap length. The short strap is best for the Duo, I…
I bought both neck and wrist straps (I felt – maybe wrongly – that the duo would leave too much…
Looks like a great product.
Ian As a Yorkshireman, I really appreciated your article and your stunning images brought back vivid memories of a time…
Yes, at the top end, prices were very firm. I’m glad the 1840 Voigtlander sold well, but it has probably…
Too industrial for me.
