  1. a New Leica Camera has Popped up online, Type 8262, a Hybrid Instant camera i guess its a digital camera that can output instax sized prints or its a super cool minilux style film camera that also saves a digital image looks quite small too, maybe Ricoh GR sized.
  2. SOS HELP!!! I dropped my Leica M4 and according to the NYC Camera Doctor repair team, the prism that creates the ghost image in the rangefinder is dislocated and needs to be replaced. They suggested that I send it directly into Leica for repairs, becuase the rangefinder is a complicated mechanism they wern't equipt to fix. They also let me know that Leica, located in New Jersey, dosen't do specific repairs and will want to do a full tune-up. Money is a concern, and I'm not prepared to pay $1000-ish if I can at all avoid it. I just want my range-finder to be functional. Has anyone had rangefinder work done, espeically on an M4? Would you advise having this work done by Leica or an outside repair person, such as DAG? Any experience or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. E
  3. My name is Dirk-Jan Kraan and living in The Netherlands. After shooting with Canon equipment for several years I moved to Leica in 2014. First, quite a big step, but no regrets. I use the Leica M240 with mainly Zeiss ZM glass. Thank you and have a good day, Dirk-Jan Kraan
  4. Hi. I am a novice with some sketchy experience gained back in the 1980's at college. I have been using a Pentax K-x (D-SLR) for the last few years, at infrequent intervals. More recently I decided to get into photography a bit more and a "good" compact was priority for ease of carrying around. Also to encourage me to learn about "real" photography and the necessary skills... so after much research I opted for an early Xmas prezzy to myself; a lovely D-Lux 109. The Leica will be used for pleasure and I intend to keep it handy as much as possible.... it's due for delivery next week!!! In the mean time I'll be trawling though this forum for more tips & advice. Ta, Mark
  5. Hi everyone! Would like help to choose the best Leica camera for Pet Photography. I will be shooting mostly dogs and rabbits. I am a complete beginner at photography, though I aspire to shoot at a semi-pro level. My budget is not more than a Leica T, so M and S systems are out of the question. My friend recommended a Leica T with a Summicron-T 23m F/2 ASPH. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks!
  6. I could buy a new R4 in an unopened box. But the serial number is 157.... and I've read that they have electronic issues with the shutter below serial number 160.... So, what should i do? Take the risk, or wait for a newer one?
  7. I have tried to capture as many details as possible of the new Leica M6 re-issue. Please feel free to add your observations and images.
  8. Leica camera sales over the past 10 years for map cameras. ・ Leica product sales ranking for 10 years (camera edition) Leica product 10-year sales ranking (new camera version) as of January 2023 1st Q2 2nd Q (Typ116) Black 3rd M10 black chrome 4th D-LUX7 Silver 5th M10-P Black Chrome 6th M (Typ240) black paint 7th D-LUX (Typ109) 8th SL2-S 9th M Monochrome Black Chrome 1 10th D-LUX7 Black Leica product 10-year sales ranking (used camera edition) as of January 2023 1st Q (Typ116) Black 2nd Q2 3rd M3 4th M (Typ240) black paint 5th M10 Black Chrome 6th M10-P Black Chrome 7th SL (Typ601) 8th M-P (Typ240) black paint 9th X Vario (Typ107) Black 10th M9 black paint   The best-selling Leica camera in the past 10 years in map cameras is "Q2", and the second place is "Q", so the Q series sells more than the M series
  9. PRICING THOUGHTS & MARKET SIZE 10-2020 EXPANDING LEICA MARKET THROUGH PRICING ADJUSTMENTS Has Leica priced only for the super rich not the middle class or even worker-who-can-save? With M10's going USED at $4,5000 TO $5,500 most people can not afford them. Even used only the super rich can afford them. If they had sold the new M10's around $4,500, about $2,000 above the $2,500 that the Asian cameras sell for, then used the Leica would sell for $2,000 to $3,000 where many could afford them. Thus a used Leica's price would compete with new Asian camera prices. This would give Leica a double market to sell to, both new and used, and greater market penetration (more sales), and a reason to expand their repair department which is greatly needed. ECONOMIC SYSTEM PRICE POINT AND SIZE OF THE MARKET If you can sell the trade-in camera, then it is normally easier to sell a new camera, is it not? By hurting the trade-in used market with high priced used cameras, it must be harder to sell new $7,000 cameras. Since the used cameras are selling at $4,5000+ then it could only be to a few very rich people - thus used cameras compete with Leica's own new camera market. I realize it is not this simple but I am sure you get my point. Could Leica could end up like Pentax & Rollei? Leica might have a better "economic system", at a more reasonable new price and greater sales, with the accompanying better/larger repair department. The existing repair department could not fully fix my Tri-Elmar 28-35-50 lens. Is there demand at $3,500 to $4,500 new body price, for an M11? At $3,500 you would likely convert some new-camera Asian-camera buyers to new-camera Leica-camera buyers. That is about 40% more for a body than the Asian market can provide at $2,500. At $4,500+ you probably loose this convert. LOCAL SALES Probably due to this overpricing effect on both bodies and lenses, no camera store sells Leica in my home town. My town is in a CSA (combined statistical area) population of 1,096,961. Our top camera store told me years ago they could not carry a camera unless they could sell ONE a month, so they dropped Leica. Lower used prices would give camera stores something to sell profitably (selling new cameras is hardly profitable I am told) and keep them in business. TRADE-IN COMPETITION & PRICING Trade-ins are NOT reasonably priced, when they are priced above the price of new Asian cameras, cameras that frankly exceed the capabilities of any Leica. But of course the Asian cameras are a horror story of complexity to operate, so many users dislike them. Asian digital cameras remove the sense of being an artist and turn you into a technician. ALTERNATIVES & COLOR FEATURE As now priced, Leica sends me to Panasonic S1, S1-R, S1-H or better yet Nikon Z6, Z7 which has very very close to the Leica-Euro color hues when using old Leica lenses as reports show with pictures. Sadly with M10-R the Leica-Euro-Color may be lost in order to extend the dynamic range of the smaller pixel sensor? Why not give a Euro-Color Leica-Look check box in the menus to select this color saturation level and loose the one or one-half stop of brightness that is needed to achieve it? As long as the dark areas go black, and not to Noise, then it would be acceptable for many users. Please take my comments as a hope for an expanded Leica market. I also realize, that the market resolves all issues, and has a sort of fairness all its own that we must submit to. I do enjoy the economic study.
  10. I finally joined the forum so I can view the attached pictures you all have been posting, be it gear or photographs! What great pictures, thank you! Definitely worth signing up just for that. On to myself, my name is Patrick and I live near Washington, DC. I got bit by the rangefinder bug about a year ago, and I finally hit the Leica stage. I picked up a Leica M2 and had a CLA done by Youxin Ye. I never knew split images could be so bright! Before, I had a Canonet 28, Yashica MG-1, and a Zorki 4 with a Jupiter 8. I am really loving shooting film, especially black and white. I feel as if I am becoming one with the camera! I have started developing on my own rolls and it's satisfying and relieving! I find it relieving because I can get my black and white rolls developed anytime I want in my own house! If you want to take a look at my work, check out my tumblr and my personal blog. I am excited to share my Leica experience with everyone. I am equally excited to absorb the wealth of knowledge and experience contained here!
  11. Hey I am Matt and I am new, but not shiny-new as I have been a member for sometime, just browsing, etc... I am from Torquay, in Devon, and it would be nice to meet other Leica users in Devon I shoot street and some events for work I like travelling, walking, theme parks and, of course, photography -- Matt
  12. I am relatively new to the entire film world and was just godfathered a Leica M6 with three M lenses. What film is the best for Leica's and I am mostly interested in night shooting. Any advice would be helpful
  13. I've been searching on the web, which are differences between lux and cron, here's my conclusion. Please correct if you see any errors. 35mm summicron pros Smaller than lux, compact Distortion, max.-0.8% 39mm filters, and those can fit inside the hood? "Cheaper" 35mm summicron cons Is there any? Slower than lux 35mm summilux (2010-) pros f/1.4 Slightly better MTF at f/5.6 3D like, when shooting close distances? Better contrast? Better saturation? Overall better "character" ? 35mm summilux (2010-) cons Bigger than cron, heavier Distortion, max. -1.5% Slightly worse falloff at all apertures Most 46mm filters won't fit under the hood Expensive Slight focus problem on middle-middle distances, central section will be slightly out of focus, when the rest of the frame is in focus 35mm lux & cron equals Sharpness, no real world difference Handling, don't see any noticeable difference, because the new lux hood won't block viewfinder anymore? Out of focus rendition (bokeh), equal when shooting at f/2.0 ?

    M6 Newbie!

    Hi all, Long time reader first time contributer..blah blah blah.... I have just purchased my first Leica...and M6 Classic with 50mm f2 summicron. Am hoping that this will improve my photography as I was becoming far to dependant on my Canon 20D's automation and the dreaded 'Auto' fuction! Can anoyone here give me some tips on how to progress. I have soo many ideas swimming around my head....My starting plan is to shoot b&w, colour film and colour slides to see which yiled the best results for me... When it comes to devleoping is it common to do this in a bag and scan into a computer? or shoudl i send of for slides or negatives and then scan? Will scanning make my moveto film/slides redundant? So many options...i am keen to hear what people think is the best approach to starting out with film...and maximising the quality of results when you have no darkroom and limited funds... Many thanks. Jim
  15. Hi all, a couple of days ago a bought a new (?) M9 in London Leica Mayfair Store. after taking some pictures and transferring them to mac, I noticed that files counting started not with L1000001, L1000002 as they should... but from L9993500, L9993501... (Manual is saying that the last 4 figures in file name show number of shots taken). Am i right to make a conclusion that there were already 3500 shots made on the camera before me? Thank you all Sorry if the question appears stupid for experienced Leica users... Evgeny
  16. Hi, I'd like to hear some of your comments concerning an initial setup I will be buying in the next months, since there are experienced Leica users around here - and I am new. What I learned from my current setup, Nikon D2x, 12-24, 50, 55MF Macro, 70-200, SB800, is that 1. it is too much load for me, I want to travel lighter 2. it is too big, I want to travel smaller 3. I often focus manually with my 55 This, and only this, was the reason for me to look for alternatives. I learned about Leica, and here I am... I'd like to buy - M9 - Summilux 21mm - Summilux 50mm - Summicron 90mm - 3 filter for each lens - 2 additional batteries - Lowepro Inverse 100 bag This will result in about 3kg of weigth, which I think is very good..? I will keep my DSLR setup for the times I want to shoot macro, long tele or where Autofocus is needed. What do you think? Are the lenses good choices compared to their price, weight, performance? Is there a too wide gap from 21 to 50 mm? Am I missing something important? Thanks for any comments!
