I must confess I'm always a little mystified that people are willing to pay the Leica premium for digital cameras. One of the most compelling aspects of a Leica film camera is that it's 'the camera you pass on to your grandchildren' - but how does that stand up for digital...
its custom banks, which is handy if you like shooting Fuji's film sim jpegs and your own custom sim recipes, without having to also store other global camera settings in the custom settings, which the newer cameras require. I personally think it's still a great camera and in a sense th...
As Panasonic and Leica have been long-term camera development partners, if Leica are going to have 8k video on a camera soon Panasonic can't really be far behind in offering it. I'd be very surprised if the the new Leica doesn't have largely Panasonic electroni...
Comparing this to recently tested cameras like the Panasonic S5 (please have a look again here) you can see that the S5 has additional stops visible in the noise floor and still shows 12.1 stops at the SNR = 2. Hence, a solid result at SNR = 2 for the Sony a7S III but don’t ...

Make sense? Fast lenses: when should you use them? To complete this discussion on the value of fast lenses versus slow lenses, I wanted to mention a few photographic genres where fast lenses are highly useful, as well as a few genres where fast lenses are unnecessary. ...
(etc) was based on them. Having Kodak get Sigma to produce their cameras is no minor feat. The end results may not have been wonderful but Sigma are still a big threat, especially if 4/3rds takes off and Sigma dives in. I'm waiting for a Foveon 4/3rds chip to really make things...
Getting larger still are the APS-C offerings which include theCanon EOS M(22.2 x 14.8 mm) along with theNEXrange from Sony and those those from Fujifilm (23.5 x 15.6 mm) … yes, not all APS-C sensors are the same size. Leica rangefinders such as theLeica Mhave a Full Frame (36 ...
Putting a cheap lens adapter on the A7R which sticks out quite far from the body does let the swanky finish down a bit. A Leica M to E mount adapter is so small as to be pretty much ignorable. Sadly Leica glass is the preserve of the elites. ...
Theoretically it would make more sense and you won't have to worry about buying 2 lenses just for f-stop differences... Let me know. Not really an answer to your question, but it reminds me of my very first camera, 65 years ago, a Zeiss Ikon Box Tengor 56/2, that still had these...
