Thank you, Stephen. I used to use the screen of my iMac that way, but most often it was only…

Thank you Ed, that is an impressive set up and a great review, I have looked at these devices before…

Very interesting, Ed. But a lot of slide shows were characterised by sloppy or total lack of editing. Guests would…

When I was writing this article, Bill Rosauer, LSI’s Viewfinder Editor, said he would ask his son Dan, who has…

Yes, well said Kathy. If only Leica had truly applied their UI excellence and simplification to this phone. And, of…

Good news. If you want the date of manufacture send the serial number and I will check.

Thanks for the information. I have identified my dad’s Leica llla as a result.

I haven’t discussed this in detail with them, but they appear have a policy of expanding all models in their…

Even Sigma does not release its APS-C lenses in L-mount anymore… And the release strategy of Viltrox for full frame…

Don’t worry, Brian. All these articles take a lot of time. It is also often a challenge to get decent…

They are developing L-Mount lenses and you can take a look at the website. Anything made for other mounts could…

Your typical expert review that does not try to sell it to everyone. I wish I was 25 percent as…

That is quite the conundrum but I hope you make the right decision.

Looking forward to the AF 90mm f/2.2 EVO APS-C lens “L-mount” version.

Well, this is quite the connudrum! I had planned on purchasing the Voigtlander M 90mm APO (reviewed here under ‘M-Files’),…

Ah yes thanks Paul. Later in the year. Hopefully I will get to GPS.

Andy, don’t forget my offer to let you use my iPhone and Leica grip for an hour or two next…

Andrew Thank you for your helpful comments. My learning on DxO9 continues. My Sony cameras produce proprietary ARW files and…

The RAW file (or DNG if your camera produces them) should be a direct readout of the pixels on the…

William I have recently started using DxO9 and I have gone back to basics to try and understand how the…

Thanks for your comments William. I think a lot of people will be sticking with their current phone rather than…

Well written Andrew. Some general points. I’ve just come off chairing an LSI Zoom on post-processing monochrome images where we…

I could not agree more ! I have all three actual models and enjoy using them all.

You deserve a medal, really!

Completely agree.

So near, yet so far!

Or keep it and have the 28 and the 43. One Q is never enough.

Thanks Kathy! I’ll await a call from Leica.

I think there is the potential for quite a close connection with a computational photography phone type device. I do…

Excellent points Peter, well made. I think it is a matter of “not yet” for me as well. Glad I…

I did it so you don’t have to 🙂 Taking one for the Macfilos collective.

Yes indeed, I was very surprised by the capabilities, which will only get better.

The idea of replacing something like the Leica Q3 with a device like the LeitzPhone feels almost unthinkable at first,…

I admire your patience in reviewing the Leitzphone, even as one disappointment after another cropped up. How is it possible…

Andrew, a really interesting, detailed – and for me timely – review. I read a review in LFI recently and…

An interesting read Mr. Tobin, I agree, I am not sure that computational photography is still photography, rather it is…

To me, this was an incredible article. The level of professionalism in the review — the short way to say…

There is only one reason why someone should sell a Leica Q camera: A model of the Q series.

Thank you, David! I am noted (among colleagues) for verbosity (and. incidentally, the overuse of the passive voice, which seriously…

Actually, Donald, I also bought one (using the Macfilos discount) and it arrived in London from Hong Kong. I suppose…

Thanks, Kathy, and I note your sensible points. I don’t like “selfie” any more than you do, but it’s now…

Succinctly put!

Many beautiful images, Claus. I recently was on vacation in small-town Ontario, about two-hours drive north of Toronto. I took…

“Could I ditch my Leica Q3 and just use a phone?” Could you? Yes. Should you? No.

I ordered and received the lens. It was delivered from an European warehouse (I live in the Netherlands), so no…

Every so often, I think “I should write a review of this.” But, coming to MACFILOS and reading the posted…

Hi, Mark I’m visiting Wetzlar next week, as part of 1,200 Km Deutschland ‘Stop-At-Every-Lamp-Post’ Ticket solo wander. I chose the…

Thank you, Olaf. I really enjoyed the L10, especially because it embodies all the DNA of a D-Lux and is…

Thank you Mike for your gargantuan review of the latest Lumix compact camera. 26 side-headings, if I am not mistaken!…

Dear Mike, I’d like to compliment and thank you for the interesting and detailed report on the new Panasonic camera.…

Excellent review Mike, thanks!

Hello Wayne. Thank you very much for taking the time to message me. I really appreciate it. And I’m grateful…

Hello Wayne, My apologies if my message is a little late to your post but I am very inspired by…

Thanks Keith, I would like to have visited the exhibition in Bruton as I’m a big fan of his work.…

Thanks Mark! Nice to see you back here. Martin was one of those photographers who was wry, sly with an…

Thanks Jon. Another for the bookshelf I think. I was pleased to see Sir Don was made a member of…

Hi Rick, that’s good to hear. As the M8 has a crop sensor, it’s not surprising that you don’t get…

Great article Jon.

Thanks, David. I am glad you enjoyed the article. I continue to be impressed with the ability of Claude to…

Excellent article! The debate between AI and traditional photography is fascinating. As someone working with AI image tools daily, I…

Hi Ed – there are huge benefits to travelling light. You are on holiday after all. Additionally, just one camera…

Stephen, Sorry, I think you misunderstood me! 🙂 I don’t scan myself, I get mine done commercially. Many years ago…

Thanks Ed, There’s so much good work out there that it can often get drowned out by the noise and…

Jon – thanks for a great overview of Leica Galleries, I had not realized before reading your article how extensive…

Thanks Keith, We have to keep reminding ourselves that it’s not the kit, per se, but what we can accomplish…

Thank you Jon for a good history of the development of Leica Galleries, which is a fantastic initiative by Leica.…

My view is that the GRIII (which is the one I own) is a great little camera that can compete…

Thanks, Andrew. I have now gone down the official Macfilos Ricoh GR rabbit hole, having just read your original review…

Dear Jonathan, for the sake of completeness, I’d like to finish telling my story regarding the Leica SL3-P here as…

Just re-reading your article with an update: neither my leica M8 nor my M EV1 show any color cast with…

Thanks for adding your thoughts. I think there is something special about manual focusing an M-Mount lens, whether via rangefinder…

I don’t have enough experience with it to give a thorough opinion. But, from my uses so far, simply a…

Excellent write up. I’m a q3 guy looking to jump into ev1. But this is exactly what I needed to…

As I mentioned in my initial comment, I have already left Foveon behind when I traded them for the Leica…

Great comment from Peter Dzwig, and interesting to note that you have returned to real photography again. I would be…

Michael, thank you again for your knowledgeable assistance. I started writing and then got bogged down in too much detail.…

Thanks for adding to the conversation, Peter. This is proving to be a barnstormer of opinions. Each to their own……

What a fascinating conversation! To each his own. 🙂 I started with 8/16-bit .TIFFs from film when I couldn’t justify…

Firstly, it was a pleasure to help Mike with the article in whatever way I could. An apparently straightforward topic,…

Cameras with Foveon sensors are not the easiest to use, as you have found, but with care are capable of…

I looks like there are not two options here — there are hundreds. And everyone has an individual take on…

Thanks Mike for this article that gives food for thought. I’m in the raw+jpegs camp as my old Leicas and…

All good advice, Arthur, and I can’t disagree with what you say. Everyone seems to have a different view on…

Dear Don, keeping track of all those RAW and JPG files is a nightmare. As I said in the article,…

Dear Kathy, thanks for your positive comment as usual. Indeed, some China pictures keep cropping up. My problem is that…

William, thanks for the suggestion of a dummy guide. It’s a good idea, but it would need an expert (with…

Thanks, Martin. We are by no means hung up about Leica. Members of our team use many cameras; and in…

Everyone to his own, and that’s the beauty of the modern digital photography world. I quite like recipes and simulations…

Thank you, Stephen. I also have a IIIg and I think it is the most beautiful last-blast for the LTM…

What an excellent article Mike, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and the subsequent comments. To me, with my brain fog…

Dear Mike, thank you very much for the interesting article and for examining the various aspects. I belong to the…

I will start by saying I am not a Leica user; Nikon Df instead. I choose the image format based…

Thanks, Mike. I avoid over-complication whenever possible. I know the tweaks which give me the results that I want. It…
