      Disappointed with SL3

      By jaapv · Posted

      The SL series has double seals and in theory is completely waterproof ( don’t try this at home)

      How does Leica handle morie?

      By adan · Posted

      Leica ignores it, for the most part. Unless one photographs a lot of consistently repeating patterns of fine detail (brick buildings, cloth threads), it rarely shows up in "real-world" pictures. A higher-pixel-count sensor will reduce the chance of moiré - one of the very few situations where a sensor can, and needs to, "outresolve the lens." See also the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist–Shannon_sampling_theorem So the 60mp M11/Q3/SL3 cameras might count as one way Leica is "solving the moiré problem." In tests with the M11 vs. my M10 (24 Mpixels) the M11 definitely avoided moiré in some situations where the M10 produced it. Example below - finely-ribbed texture of a white camera case. M10 crop, inset into extreme crop from M11, 50mm Noctilux at f/4 (left-hand color splotches are just high ISO noise - 32000 for both images)

      M mount lens explosion!

      By lioness731 · Posted

      I have a Mitakon Zhongyi 50mm f0.95 lens for M mount. It's decent to play around with. I had a Mitakon 35mm f0.95 for Fuji X when I was a Fujifilm user that had a surprisingly nice rendering wide open so  decided to give this M mount version a try. I also did not want to drop the coin for Nocti even used. I have several 50s (2 by Leica and 2 other manufacturers) and my main squeeze is the Leica 50 Summilux followed by the 50mm f2 APO Lanthar Voigtlander. The Mitakon and a Leica 50 Summicron Rigid round out the group.  I will agree with other posters that the TT Artisan and 7 Artisan lenses were not to my liking. Shipping a lens with a screwdriver and shims? Good luck.

      What exciting lens am I missing?

      By RexGig0 · Posted

      I started Leica M system shooting in 2018, with the then-current Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, which should be the same version that you have/had. It remains my most “exciting,” and remains the one Leica M lens that I “absolutely love.” Inspired by the interview with Peter Karbe, in which he described having based the design of the APO Summicron-M 75mm ASPH upon the Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, I added the APO 75 about two years ago, and am still trying to decide how I feel about it. Achieving critical focus with the rangefinder is a challenge. I may grow to really love this one, but, well, not yet. I want to take it with me, on a solo road trip to some mountains. I hope to learn more, about the APO 75 ‘Cron, during that endeavor. Short telephoto is not so interesting, for landscapes, on this flat coastal plain/prairie, where we live. The compression effect of a telephoto should be more interesting when used in uneven terrain.  The 35mm M-mount lens that I have truly come to love is the Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/1.4 ZM. It has that “Zeiss Look” that is disliked by so many Leica shooters, but, I had already been acquainted with some VERY good Zeiss DSLR/SLR lenses, so, acquiring a modern Zeiss M-mount lens seemed perfectly normal. (Several of the Zeiss ZM lenses are film-era designs, whereas this Distagon was designed with high-resolution digital cameras in mind.) Notably, I like the bokeh of this Distagon more than that of its Leica FLE counterpart. The only Leica lens I have bought new, rather than pre-owned, is the “Re-Edition” Steel Rim Summilux-M 35mm, a very different 35mm lens from my Zeiss Distagon. Less optical correction, a “classic” rendering. “Busy” bokeh, rather than the smoothness of the Zeiss Distagon. This Summilux 35 is becoming much-loved.
