    ================================
    0:20 Intro
    4:24 Limited budget to start Leica collection. Where should I start?
    6:34 What would be your next lens on a M10? 50 LUX ASPH? LUX 35 FLE? and ???
    8:36 Are there other techniques beyond exposure compensation to help save highlights in a high contrast situation?
    11:26 CLA anyways on my recently purchased used M6 TTL?
    12:45 What is the relationship between with CW Sonder Optic? Will Leica build a cinema body to compete with other manufacturers focused on video cameras?
    17:45 M10-R+ 50mm Summilux ASPH front focusing, is it a common issue? Should I exchange the lens or get it calibrated?
    19:55 What should we do with our collection of Leica R lenses?
    22:15 If you wanted a lens for an SL2 with a range beyond the M135 but did not want the bulk of the 90-280. What would you use?
    23:45 What do you think of the 90-280 focus speed?
    25:48 What is an R lens that still doesn't have an equivalent in M or SL lenses?
    26:24 Any possibility that strobe companies such as profoto and Leica will work together?
    27:40 Best version of the 50mm Summicron for a film body?
    28:45 Besides size and price, any reason why you would choose to use any of the pre-ASPH lenses?
    30:00 How do you describe lens fall off and which lens has the best lens fallout?
    32:00 How is the 16 18 21mm lens on the SL?
    33:09 Do you need an ND filter for shooting with the SL2 in bright light?
    33:52 Can you talk about autofocus profiles on the SL2 and how intelligent autofocus works?
    37:55 16-35 samples
    40:11 Any advice for dealing with condensation when travelling?
    41:15 They stopped making 24 elmar, will these increase in value?
    42:20 Does SL 50mm 1.4 have a similar bokeh to the M Summilux 50mm?
    43:12 My M3 lacks a frame select lever, why the difference will be my camera automatically select 50 90 135 frame lines? Does this detract from its value?
    43:35 When the Leica foto app is used on my iphone to import photos from my m10, do the dng files from the camera lose resolution?
    44:33 What is a good choice for someone with back pain who wants a system that covers reasonable wide angle and telephoto , say from 28mm to 150mm?
    47:10 When I download images in Lightroom to my hard drive, I get the dng and jpeg files. Is there a way to not download the jpeg in Lightroom?
    48:50 Is Summarit 75 2.5 a good buy?
    50:00 Leitz Wezlar Lens Cap
    54:26 Kumaru Damascus steel soft release
    56:31 I have a Leica M9P, thinking about upgrading to the Leica M10P, will colors be similar to CCD?
    1:02:36 Which camera of the known models will do better in low light and with which lens combo?
    1:06:30 Which will be better for micro bugs and flowers? A Q2 or a 60mm micro TL on my SL2?
    1:08:21 Thoughts on the 28mm Summaron 5.6?
    1:09:16 Sample pictures
    1:11:08 Why is lens contrast important? Could I not adjust the contrast during processing? Is it different and how?
    1:12:44 Why Leica in 2020?
    1:19:57 a 21mm 3.4 performance on an SL as the 21 Summilux at the same aperture?
    1:20:46 Sensor differences between M10 and M10-R other than resolution?
    1:21:27 Is lens choice on the M10-M as critical as it is in color photography?
    1:22:20 How does the 75 Summarit compare to the 90 Summarit in terms of image quality?
    1:22:43 Weird period of in the mid to late 70s where the quality of Leica supposedly took a dip, thoughts on products that came from that era?
    1:23:56 Is it a good iead to sell the M9 now since the sensor won't be available for repair?
    1:24:50 Does Leica make an M mount tilt shift lens?
    1:25:42 If I use some TL lenses on the SL, will they vignette a lot?
    1:27:04 Is any chance the SL 28 Will be out this year?
    1:28:40 I got an SL2 with a 24-90 lens, since the SL does not have a flip screen, is it possible to attach an external monitor and work on photo mode to help on creating landscape composition?
    1:30:30 If you had a choice as a traveler, which will you choose M10R or SL2?
    1:32:00 How do R lenses adapt to crop cameras like TL and CL? Any issues?
    1:32:31 Do you think the M10 R has similar capability as the M10 for capturing reds and deep blacks?
    1:33:24 Explain how metering modes work on the M240? How exposure compensation works on each one?
    1:37:58 Will ISO 1600 upwards develop the same noise on for example M240, and M10?
    1:39:40 I'm currently using the Summicron SL 35 with SL 601, while waiting for the 21 24 28 SL primes. Which M prime lenses wide angle would you recommend to adapt on the SL or would you just get a Q2?
    1:41:30 Thinking of buying a Leica M-monochrome CCD, camera sill has the original sensor and shows no signs of corrosion, would you suggest me getting it?
    1:43:44 Is Sigma going to make lenses for Leica as well?
    1:44:17 Having an M, would you get the 28 Summilux or just get a Q2?
    1:46:10 Can I clean my DMR contacts with alcohol to make it work again?
    1:46:57 Do M lenses actually have faster fall off in focus vs. out of focus than SL lenses?
    1:48:38 What's the difference in the EVF between the SL and SL2 in terms of color and quality not just pixels?
    1:50:05 I am new to the Leica system and I wonder how do you focus for landscape?
    1:53:42 The CCD has a very recognizable look?
    1:56:32 There's a good deal for a Summilux 50 pre-ASPH, the lens has some haze and tiny fungus, can they be removed?
    1:57:33 I have an M9 but I love my old digilux 2, is it possible Leica will launch a new camera with a fixed lens like this?
    1:59:38 Image stabilization on or off and are there any consequences using it?
    2:01:00 Recommendation on card reader
    2:01:54 Colorado workshop
    2:02:47 What can you say about the 23mm TL lens?
    2:03:00 How's the autofocus performance of S lenses on the SL2?
    2:03:45 What are your current favorite photo books by Leica photographers in the shop?
    2:04:46 Will David talk about astrophotography during the landscape talk? Any quick tips?
    2:07:09 How easy it is to shoot natural light portraits with the Leica S3 and the Summicron S100 F2 wide open at F2?
    2:10:20 What flash would you recommend for the SL?

    Even though I will probably never be able to afford a Leica, I have watched all of your episodes. The two of you are interesting, extremely knowledgeable and present very professionally. I look forward to these episodes if for nothing else but to learn more about the iconic brand and these marvelous imaging products.

  • @joteroar
    @joteroar 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    On the CL: Is there any way to magnify the image in low light conditions without getting a completely dark image? It really pisses me off when I try to use focus peaking magnifiying the image and I can‘t see anything at all because the magnified image is way darker than the original one. I don‘t get it, does it really work like this or am I doing something wrong? If this is the way it works I have to say it is a huge crap! Fujis do it way better at this point; even if you are in a very dark situation, you turn the shutter dial down and you get a clear, bright, magnified preview of your image with the red edges of your focus peaking. I‘m not able to get this on the CL, which I absolutely adore, but this is the one thing that makes me nuts!

    Hello guys thanks for these great talks, I really enjoy them. I have an M10 Monochrom (21 elmar, 35 lux fle, 50 apo cron, 90 apo cron) and an SL2 ( 3 zooms and 35 and 75 apo summicron), all was going well and I am happy with my gear..... until the M10R!! so now the question is, how does the M10R compare with the M10 Mono? I know the Mono has superior ISO but with the R you can still mix the colour channels, and furthermore, how does the M10R compare with the SL2? I was thinking of either leaving things as they are or selling the Mono for the R? The other options is to add the R, but that seems like clutter?

    Btw, I have a Profoto equpped studio, but I never shoot in auto. Only in manual. So I don't really need Leica to incorporate Profoto support in the camera. When I shoot with the Phase One XF which have Profoto support, I never use it.

      The 35mm APO-SL is an amazing lens. But you already have a 28 and 50. You'd gain far more flexibility and creative options adding a 90mm to your kit.
