  1. While you cannot delete a profile, my recollection (I may be wrong) is that you can overwrite an existing unwanted profile with a new profile. Save the new profile in place of the existing profile.
  2. Four months for me in Montreal, ordered on Jan 25, received on May 30. My dealer told me four months was the typical wait.
  3. My dealer just advised me that I can now register my 11 online, and he was right. So, everyone, go ahead and register. Enjoy.
  4. I ordered my M11 on January 25th and got it four months later. The store told me this was the typical wait for their customers.
  5. I got the same reply from Leica, and filed it under "Lost in translation."
  6. One thing puzzles me about the M11. Leica focusses upon minimalism, and yet in the M11 they added programmable function buttons. At the same time as they did this, they added menu items to the touch-screen. I find that changing functions using the touch-screen is just as simple and direct as using a function button. The touch-screen meets all my needs and I can't see a function button doing something that the touch-screen cannot do. Perhaps others can. Please let me know. To my mind these buttons are redundant, and the M11 would be better without them.
  7. The sensor cleaning function still exists. Go to "Camera Settings" and scroll down to "Sensor cleaning." This function prevents the shutter from closing inadvertently while you are in cleaning mode.
  8. I had the same problem, and received this reply from Leica, "Regrettably, we have some issues with registering our Leica products at the moment. For unexplainable reasons, relevant product data has not been transferred to our server. Please apologize for the inconvenience."
  9. This is an observation, not a complaint. Previous digital M cameras had a dust detection feature, but not the M11. While this feature was available on the M10-R, I never got it to work, and I tried many times. I would always receive an "Image inhomogeneous" message. My guess is that Leica has decided that this function will not work on high-resolution sensors.
  10. I tried the blank Word document approach. Still no luck, still "Image inhomogeneous." My lens was a 50mm.
  11. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. Previously I had set my focus at minimum distance rather than infinity, and that may be the problem.
  12. Thanks. Makes sense. However, I tried walls many times before trying a computer screen, and my Prima Donna didn't like them either. BTW, I'm the owner of the only "Prima Donna" Leica M10-R ever made. Collectors may contact me.
  13. I tried again, setting ISO to 100, cleaning the screen of my Mac, opening a blank Word document, and using a 90 mm F4 Macro lens. I took repeated shots, setting the computer screen at different levels of brightness (to see if that made a difference). I also took shots with the lens focussed at infinity and at the closest focussing distance, with the lens extended, and collapsed. No luck. Every shot was "image inhomogeneous." Conclusion : my particular M10-R is a Prima Donna.
  14. That's a possibility. The camera was set to Auto ISO, so I'll try again with ISO set to 100. I followed hbgdiver's example, and used a blank word document. I used a 90mm F4 macro lens, as all other lenses had too wide a field of view for the size of my computer screen. Set it at F22, and at a distance of about 9 inches. I'll try again, and I welcome any suggestions.
  15. @ hbgdiver. Tried it. "Image inhomogeneous."
