    What does an unsharp lens have to do with it if other lenses are sharp?
  2. setuporg
    I'd not sell the 35 Lux and I almost got the SR but folks said the Titanium renders better/closer to the original so there's that.:)

    The M11P and 35 APO seem made for each other. My most used combo now.

    My Edition 60 is one of the best Leicas ever, and the M246 Monochrom is the only rangefinder in the world making Black and White videos. Their batteries last forever. Fun times!

    Leica lenses are not the ones that are individually calibrated for rangefinder. So it’s either all will be unsharp or none (within expected sharpness), right?
  6. setuporg
    Great advice @hdmesa!
  7. setuporg
    So, given Lux is sharper and faster, what would be the point of getting this one if you have the Lux already? Close focus? Size?

    What do folks here do to remember which non-Leica lenses they used to take photos? Do you pick a similar focal distance/speed lens from the menu? Do folks 6-bit code their Voigtlander and Zeiss lenses?

    C’mon, picturing your Leica next to a latte is the ultimate state of leicmanship’

    You can leave the cap on!:)

    I read that the OOF background is busy on Ultron, is that true?

    Ah! I thought they have to send them on to Wetzlar, which has horrific wait times for more than half a year according to other threads and @Al Brown. If 6-bit coding is done in NJ that’s great news! However I wonder whether sending an old lens would warrant a CLA, and that would probably entail going to Wetzlar anyways?…

    As usual, B&H reverted from “shipping November 30” to “coming soon”… Let’s see when is that.

    I’d think I’m crazy but many others here said the same thing. So I think you’re an outlier.:)

    You’d think the whole point of AI metering is it could do that for you, but no…

    So compared to M10R, M11P consistently overexposes, to my liking. Maybe I was underexposing all along... So using EV compensation -1/3 or -2/3 is a tried and true way with Leica. What is it with them? Why do we have to do it year on year on all models? What other approaches have you seen work to achieve less blown up exposure overall?
  17. setuporg
    Which kind is 0.5 and which one is 0.7?
  18. setuporg
    Can anyone who handled both confirm what the differences are? Are they only ergonomic, so optically they are the same lens? Is one kind brass and heavirt than the other? Is black and silver only color difference in each kind?
  19. setuporg
    Type I or II?
  20. setuporg
    The one with the 55mm filter and a vestigial hood:)

    I've just added a 55 MATE that looks like new and it's fantastic on the M11P. Would love to have it 6 bit coded but not with the enormous wait times.
  22. setuporg
    OK got home, ingested photos, and boy, M10R looks better OOC. The M11P is generally overexposed, or looks lighter. It errs on preserving blacks while M10R seems more balanced and whites are not overblown. Hmm! How do I bring the exposure down in such cases?

    Having just done the first firmware update via FOTOS, I must say, to P!
  24. setuporg
    I got a custom Luigi case for it which is super convenient. But recently I found you can just use a wrist strap. Exactly because of the lack of lugs it is stunning in hand.

    I’ve recently come across this intriguing pancake photo that would make an M pocketable!
