A Ju 52 isn’t that much of a challenge; what’s really difficult is a case where there is no repeating pattern but just a singular dark line against a bright background.

With Camera Raw you can use the brush to remove moiré wherever it shows up.
-
Occasional moiré is the price you pay for the increased resolution you get from a sensor without a low-pass filter. Thankfully moiré is easy to get rid of in Lightroom (or ACR).

Will impending Nikon Mirrorless Affect Leica's Planning?
mjh replied to bags27's topic in Leica News
Well of course Leica is monitoring the camera industry and of course they prepare for Canon’s and Nikon’s expected entry into the FF mirrorless market, where as of now the only contenders are the Sony Alpha 7 models and the Leica SL. And then there is the M, but the M isn’t likely to face competition any time soon. -
You have to consider that the M – and that includes a hypothetical M11 – is a manual focus camera. There are some really good electronic viewfinders out there and Leica has built some of the best, but the real question is this: Can Leica develop an electronic viewfinder that supports fast and accurate manual focusing, rivalling a rangefinder? Only if the answer is ‘yes’ would a non-rangefinder M be an option. (And btw, no more curved sensor nonsense please. Curved sensors do have their advantages and there are application areas where the can excel, but this isn’t one of those.)
-
Just taking a guess but that might be Fuji. The IBIS of the X-H1 looks like it was designed with larger sensor sizes in mind. But any kind of image stabilisation becomes much harder with increasing sensor sizes so it’s hard to tell.
-
If you are designing lenses for an MF system and you are not shooting for 100 MP at least you are not doing it right.

Does the CL have a file numbering bug?
mjh replied to norm_snyder's topic in Leica CL / TL / TL2 / T Forum
The camera works as designed so it’s not a bug. While many cameras start a new folder only after reaching image number 9999, some do so after 999. Leica’s and Fujifilm’s cameras only count to 999, for example. -
It most certainly is. Reflections off a CD or DVD can show similar patterns, btw.
-
It refers to Nissin flashguns like the i60A or Di700A, i.e. flashes compatible with the Nissin Air System (NAS). For the SF 40 or SF 64 you would need an Air R adapter.
-
Like many rumours, this one happens to be wrong. Apart from the fact that there is no Maestro III – not this year anyway.
-
Why would Leica offer cine lenses specifically geared for video use when their standard lenses were already optimised with video in mind? Or to put it more succinctly: No, that’s definitely not the case.

Magenta looks scary for M240 with Summicron 35 ASPH
mjh replied to fabregaszy's topic in Leica M (Type 240 / 262)
Sure enough, but what the sensor delivers is RGB and even after converting from the sensor’s colour space to a standard colour space, the limitations inherent in any RGB colour space still persist. Adobe RGB covers some highly saturated greens and blues that sRGB does not, and ProPhoto RGB features an even bigger gamut. Still another colour space won’t mitigate the problems with clipping in one of the three colour channels. Converting to Lab won’t solve these issues either. It’s just that Lab is bigger than any device-dependent colour space so raw development based on algorithms operating within the Lab domain won’t introduce any new limitations. -
I’ll be in Cologne from Wednesday (there is a couple of press conferences scheduled on that day) to Friday.

Leica Watches - L1 & L2 - what do you think?
mjh replied to Winedemonium's topic in Other Leica Products
I’m not sure when I have last worn a watch – that must have been many years ago. I don’t need a watch to tell me the time, and frankly that was the only reason I have ever worn a watch. I suppose some regard luxury watches as a masculine kind of jewelry but then I couldn’t care less about jewelry of any kind.
