      No, Wilson, not an Ultima. I'm delighted that a picture of a windscreen pantograph can result in so many interesting answers. Just as well I didn't post a snap of the door-handle! OK; I'm not absolutely sure but this might be the door-handle...

      My Experience with SL/SL2 Autofocus

      By Luke_Miller · Posted

      Here some things I learned after taking about 5K images with my SL and SL2. 1. Leica SL/SL2 autofocus is different from that of my Nikons. Not talking just about Nikon being PDAF and the SL/SL2 CDAF, but other basic differences.  Most of my early difficulties arose from me not realizing this. 2. I use the back button autofocus technique.  My normal setup is the camera is in AF-C.  For a static subject I focus using the back button, release the back button, recompose and take the shot.  Works great with Nikon, but not with my SL bodies.  The Nikon locks focus when I release the back button in AF-C while the Leica does not. So about two or three out of ten SL/SL2 shots will be slightly out of focus. Presumably because when I released the back button the AF system was in one of its focus hunting cycles and the camera stopped focusing while still slightly out of focus. 3.  However, if I don't release the back button and let the SL/SL2 continue to autofocus while I take the shot all the images are in focus.   4.  CDAF seems to always find focus. I rarely have an image where nothing is in focus, but, early on, the in-focus region was not always where I wanted it.  This is another difference between the SL/SL2 and my Nikons.  PDAF will almost always achieve focus where the focus point is located, while CDAF is more easily drawn off by something with high contrast adjacent to the focus point. 5.  Putting the SL/SL2 autofocus system into Dynamic (Tracking) mode allows me to see what the camera has elected to focus on.  If it is not on my subject I will refocus and find something on the subject with which AF is happy. I rarely miss focus this way. 6.  To summarize, with the SL and SL2 I am always in AF-C and Dynamic (Tracking) using the joystick to activate autofocus.  I keep autofocus active until the shutter is released with both static and moving subjects.  Since I still shoot with my Nikons, I set them up this way also to maintain commonality.  Works fine with them as well.

      How to transport collapsible lenses?

      By spydrxx · Posted

      It is nice to have a deep rear lens cap when needed. I got a couple from Ebay a few years ago, and use them as desired. As for transporting your lens, any Leica M cap will do. BTW, it is not a good idea to store any lens in a bag....darkness and trapped moisture are invitations for fungus spores to multiply. Best to store lenses in relatively low humidity environment with free air circulation or another good alternative is a tight box with a silica gel bag.
