    "Neue" Kamera - Leica M3

    Hallo zusammen, da ich mich über meine Neuerwerbung sehr freue, muss ich dies hier kund tun. Ich habe zuletzt etliche Jahre mit einer Leica X1 fotografiert, dann bin ich vor 5 Jahren auf eine M9 umgestiegen. Damit fotografiere ich regelmäßig und es macht mir eine Menge Spaß. Als Erbstück von meinen Eltern (meine Mutter war Fotografin) habe ich eine Leica IIIc (Baujahr 1949) mit einem Summitar (von 1951) 5 cm, 1:2, die sich - damit Objektiv - in einem sehr schönen und voll funktionsfähigen Zustand befindet. Damit habe ich in den letzten Wochen 2 Filme belichtet, um zu sehen, ob ich überhaupt noch analog und jede Automatik fotografieren kann. Es hat funktioniert. Da die Schraubleica nicht wirklich einfach in der Handhabung ist (Sucherfenster und Entfernungsmesser separat) habe ich über die Anschaffung einer M3 oder M2 nachgedacht. Für die M3 spricht, dass Sie über einen besonders großen Fenster verfügt. Für die M2 sprach ihr Aussehen (sehr schlicht - sehr schön) und die Tatsache, dass man mit ihr problemlos ein 35 mm Objektiv nutzen kann. Nun ist es eine M3 - Kauf per Ebay (trotz grundsätzlicher Bedenken) geworden und ich kann meine Leica-Optiken (meistgenutzt: 50 mm) für den Oldtimer nutzen. Ich bin gespannt darauf, sie in der Hand zu halten und den ersten Film zurück zu erhalten. Beste Grüße Dieter M.

  5. Hello, There is a used Leica X2 in our area selling at US$650, There is a significant wear & tear on the LCD and got a light scuff on the chrome body. I'm wondering if this is a decent or fair price with this condition and if there ways for me to address these cosmetic issues to make it look pristine. Please also advise if it's worth replacing the LCD or just use an EVF and if there is a cost effective way to restore the light scuff on the body? Is there anything I need to watch out or look for when buying a used Leica X2? Appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance.
  6. Sharing my short article shooting Paris with classic Leica X1: https://www.juliuspictures.com/blog/2020/11/13/exploring-paris-with-leica-x1 I found this little old camera is amazing. I hope you all enjoy it.
  7. As I type, my D800 and lenses are at one of the big NYC photo stores waiting on an appraisal. For the most part, I use my Nikon with the Sigma 35 1.4. Love the quality, look, color, and all that. Don't love the weight, the "I'm taking a picture" and the in your face. I have an 85, 50 and old 80-200. My appraisal should net me some money. I have a good deal on an NEX 7 and i've used it a little for the last two days but not too much as I may return it. I'm not in love. Many menus, choices, and I can't seem to get that &^%& focus point where I want. I keep hitting the exposure adjustment button. I do not have large hands by any means. I like the sony but am not enthralled by it. I can get a used X1 for a bit less then the NEX 7kit, it has the focus length I like, no more lenses to buy (or go gaga over), about the only thing it needs is a snooty 1/2 case and an optical viewfinder. The X2 interests me but it is 3x the cost of a used x1. I don't think it is 3x the camera. Used is 2x. I don't shoot sports, for the most part I use it to walk around and document my life and surroundings. X1 users, let me know how and why you like yours!

    Leica X1

    Hi There is an almost new Leica X1 for sale here in Sydney for $900. I have read lots of negative reviews of this camera but do love the look of it and the way it feels in my hand. Would appreciate some feedback from users of the X1 as other forums just bleat on about the price. Is it worth getting?
  12. Hi, when I try to photo group of people or one person, my images have a something blurred on them. Everything is good, but I feel some kind of shadow on them. So do you know any solution of settings which I need to change to have more sharpen photos? I need to picture something important for about a week, please help me. Thank you.
  13. seit ca. 8 Wochen bin ich nun im Besitz der X1 in schwarz. Man muss sich natürlich an die Festbrennweite erst mal gewöhnen. Zum mitnehmen in einer großen Jackentasche ist sie noch geeignet und mit dem auto Objektivdeckel mit den 3 Klappen auch schnell einsatzbereit. Den Adaptertubus für eine Sonnenblende und 49mm Filter habe ich mir als erstes zugelegt.Damit ist sie natürlich nicht mehr Jackentauglich, aber ich nehme den Tubus dann einfach ab. Mit der Bildqualität war ich am Anfang nicht sehr zufrieden (RAW Bilder mit CS5 bearbeitet). Aber bei einem Vergleich mit meiner Pentax K-7 hatte die X1 doch einen kleinen Vorteil. Die Einstellrädchen verstellen sich leider schnell wenn man die X1 in die Tasche steckt. Ansonsten bin ich sehr zufrieden mit der kleinen schwarzen. Heute habe ich mal meinen Pentax Blitz auf die X1 gesteckt und siehe da der geht bis 1/250s hervorragend. TTL geht leider nicht aber bei Blitz stelle eh ich alles von Hand ein. Auch die Funkauslöser für die Pentax sind mit der X1 kompatibel. Da hier sowieso alle Blitze im M-Modus arbeiten kann ich mehrere Blitze zugleich auslösen. Auch hier blitzt alles noch mit 1/250s. Also kann ich meine vorhandenen Blitze für Pentax und Leica X1 nutzen. In der Colorfoto hat die X1 38 Punkte bei ISO 100 in der Bildqualität. Cannon 5D Mark II nur 36,5 und Nikon D300s nur 31,5. Ob das mal stimmt. Habe keine der beiden Kameras aber vielleicht kann ein Leser das bestätigen oder auch nicht.
  14. The hotshoe on my X1 is so tight that I practically have to force the Leica finder in each time I want to mount it. Taking it out from the hotshoe is another hassle. It is impossible to mount any of the flashgun that I have to the hotshoe. Does anybody else have the same problem? Any suggestion how I can 'loosen' it a bit? Thanks.
  15. I am interested in an X-1, but I have some questions. 1- I saw on the web that a version of L'room 3 was announced about December 20, 2011. Is this different from L'room 3, no suffix? Or did I read the date wrong? If there is something new on the block, will the Leica d'load be for this latest version? If the 3.6 moniker is really for the same version as 3, then never mind. I know that not much time has elapsed since then, but if anyone knows, it would be nice. 2- I have a Lumix FZ 35 and have been disappointed in the IQ - noisy at any ISO over 200, and not great even at 100. Is this due to the lens or the sensors? Does anyone have any experience in this? I have read a good deal of praise for the X-1 at higher ISO's, which would make (any necessary) cropping and enlarging more productive even with the fixed focal length of the X-1. And the menus of the Lumix drive me crazy. I find myself not using the camera much. 3- I used to have a IIIg screw mount with a 50mm summicron. I know that processing counts for a lot these days, but how does the IQ of the X-1 compare with the summicron, given that the print processing is reasonably competent? Thanks in advance for any information.

  17. This is my first post. I love my Leica X1 and took it all over Israel and Jordan this summer with fabulous results. However I am curious as why Israeli Airport security found my X1 and the leather case to be a "Security Threat" when it was scanned at the airport. Has anyone else had this problem? During the standard Israeli interrogation before check-in at the the airport (this is before I left for Israel, with the Israeli security at check-in) they ran my X1, with a lens cap and SD card inserted and the Leica X1 Camera case (the stock Leica dark brown leather case with the form-fitted soft padded interior and neck strap) through a scanner and told me "Your camera is a security risk" then proceeded to use that as an excuse to take me in a private room and strip search me. I gave them the Leica charger and an extra battery in case they needed to do more checks or turn it on. They spent about 30 minutes running the camera through a scanner in the room over and over again, arguing about the image on the screen (the lens cap intrigued them) and kept looking at the leather case, especially where the lens covering protrudes, the padding inside, and muttering in Hebrew. At the end they said they had to ship my $2000 Leica in an envelope and a box, and the leather case had to be shipped in another box, which I could collect in Tel Aviv. Upon my arrival in Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the two packages arrived about 15 minutes after my luggage on the conveyor belt. I normally NEVER check a camera in my luggage as I have had them stolen before, so I was happy to see the box arrive. They had put everything in tightly wrapped plastic inside a box and an envelope. I noticed they had forgotten to pack the Leica charger and the Leica battery. At this point I just wanted to get out of the airport. Of course I could not find a replacement charger in Israel, at least not in a few days, and have now ordered a new battery and $100.00 charger on my return. I may send Israeli Airport Security a letter, but I doubt I'll get a refund. I was quite surprised and delighted as the single charged battery lasted quite a while during my trip to Israel and Jordan, at least for 200+ shots, which was wonderful. On my way out of the country I packed the leather case in my luggage and kept the camera with me in my carry on and had no extra searches beyond the regular intensive luggage scanning, opening, bomb searches, etc. So the case and camera together may have been the problem? Has anyone had this problem, in particular with the Leica leather case? I think they may have been using this as an excuse to strip search me...I was travelling alone, although I really don't fit the standard terrorist "profile", having a UK background with a USA passport, catholic and with a Scottish last name. Please don't let this become a thread about the necessity for heightened security checks and current political situation. I'm just curious if people have had this problem with the Leica padded leather cases when travelling. For me, this was the first time ever, and I used to travel with an M6. At most they used to ask me take my electronics and camera out of my carry on, but I have never had my camera deemed a "Risk" before. Thanks! And the camera arrived OK. =)
  18. If you were a serious amateur, seeking to upgrade, money not an issue, wanting the convenience of a pocket camera, and very interested in close-up macros, would you choose the Leica X1? Any help here would be most appreciated. This is my first post here.
  19. My copy of LFI arrived today. The front cover lists: "LEICA X1 The invisible reporter camera in the field" Many forum members will agree that the X1 is indeed invisible! However, an eight page article gives a good balanced account with illustrations by Stewart Weir. Several accessories are shown. There is no record of firmware value installed although I suspect, with publishing lead times, that it was a pre-production version. A good read for aspirants for this camera.
  20. Been out shooting on a very wet night. No flash and turned the OIS and the focus assist off. Really very happy. Really very happy with tonights shots.. On the blog..
  21. Since the X1 is a fixed lens camera it should have a built in viewfinder for 36mm. An external viewfinder is an option but it radically increases the bulk of the camera and there is no case to accommodate the viewfinder mounted on the camera. There is an accesory pouch, but who wants to mount a viewfinder every time they take a camera out of its case? Therefore, the screen will be the primary method of composing and should have a screen at least as good as a digital SLR, which only uses the screen for playback. The X1, especially at its premium cost should not have an outdated screen with only 230K, which is half the resolution of the Dlux-4. It should have a 920K screen like many digital SLRs.
  22. Hello, I have just joined the forums and am enjoying reading through some of the posts in here. Its great to find so many knowledgeable people who clearly know their beans when it comes to all things red dot. I am impoverished, I cannot afford an M9 but may well push the 'hock' boat out a little further come the release of the X1. Anyway, I thought I'd invite any fellow Flickr'ites' who are wating patiently for the X1 to take a look at my X1 group on flickr. Hopefully it won't bomb like the rest that I've set up and once lots of you lovely folk join, you'll all be able to share your photos in the gallery from what must be one of the most overpriced digital cameras to be launched this year. I'm still getting one...
  23. I never really bothered looking at the video at Luminous Landscape until just now - the leica rep has an operational x1 clicking away, very quietly, on continuous drive mode. Can someone who has handled the m9 comment in discreet mode comment on how the sound compares? Leica X1 Video
  24. Comparing the proportions of the imaged Leica M9, MP, M7 and the new X1 on the leaked brochure, and despite the marketing blabbering about it resembling a Leica M, I find the new compact camera to have the proportions, and possibly the size of a classic LTM (Barnak) camera. I find it strikingly similar to the Leica I (Mod.A) with fixed lens, both in concept and in design. If we assume that the expected 24/2.8 ASPH Elmarit is as an outstanding lens as the M-version, that it will have a CMOS with 1.5 or 1.6 crop, delivering perhaps great High ISO image quality, on par say to the one in the Canon 40/50D or Nikon D300 line, I think that this is the groundbreaking camera Leica has announced, and not the M9. In fact, the M9 looks more like the logical evolution of the M8/M8.2 design, certainly a technical landmark camera, but not a groundbreaking new concept. Taking into account AF, high quality optics, compactness, this last leading perhaps to a sturdy and very resistent body, I can imagine easily lots of reportage photogs massively adopting this camera. It might be that in the last months I have been shooting a IIIF with a 35mm on it, but I am finding the X1 more exciting than the M9, even before considering the price gap that there will be between them. Am I the only one?
