Advertisement Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Hi cirke, Take a look here Release of 2.0.1.5 Firmware Update. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaques Posted June 30, 2014 Share #42 Posted June 30, 2014 How can I see the horizon when focusing with OVF? you can't- it's impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 30, 2014 Share #43 Posted June 30, 2014 Another thing I have noticed is that I have 2 x vertical lines in live view about 1 centimetre from the left and right hand side....whats that all about? . Crop marksIn Live View, new crop marks for 3:4 / 6:7 / 1:1 / and 16:9 aspect ratios can be displayed. By pressing the up/down keys, the crop marks are superimposed on the live view screen (without additional information) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 30, 2014 Share #44 Posted June 30, 2014 regarding the focus peak I can see a big difference, when zoomed 10x, hardly I can se the focus peak, with 5x the focus peak is obviousyou'd the man......5% works great.........well lets just say it works (Its not in your face) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share #45 Posted June 30, 2014 I can't see the horizon without live-view. It is normal since it is a live view feature. Just press the LV button and the Info button to display it. In classic mode, the frame lines will be your only horizon as usual. Better avoid good wines then.

cirke Posted June 30, 2014 Share #46 Posted June 30, 2014 The super fast lenses are just too soft for the Leica to pick up on the edges. it works very well on the 50 and 35 Summilux But I agree that on Sony NEX it is far better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 30, 2014 Share #47 Posted June 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Battery on charge.........away out in the morning to give this new firmware a blast Jaaaap got my new glasses so expect everything TAC Sharp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaques Posted June 30, 2014 Share #48 Posted June 30, 2014 it works very well on the 50 and 35 SummiluxBut I agree that on Sony NEX it is far better the modern ASPH summilux's? I don't have ANY modern Leica glass so cannot say- but it wouldn't surprise me as I am sure they are sharper. I have had issues with my f1 Noctilux and my f1.5 Biotar- both old and soft (ish) lenses... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikiphoto Posted June 30, 2014 Share #49 Posted June 30, 2014 The update leaves the time and date intact but sets file numbering to zero so anyone who relies on the camera-generated file numbering will need to adjust it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had issues with my f1 Noctilux and my f1.5 Biotar- both old and soft (ish) lenses... yes the 2 last 35 and 50 f/1.4, FK works exactly like on the 90 Summicron or 21 SE, and I focus always at max aperture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted June 30, 2014 Share #51 Posted June 30, 2014 WOW!!! An all new way to use the EVF!!! That's grat with the Exposure Simulation in Permanent mode. I love it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had issues with my f1 Noctilux and my f1.5 Biotar- both old and soft (ish) lenses... My 50 Summilux works just fine - and the 24 Summilux as well as can be expected from any wideangle. I would never use it for a 50 or 24 though, at such focal lengths a rangefinder is far superior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never use it for a 50 or 24 though, at such focal lengths a rangefinder is far superior. Modern ASPH Summilux? I agree the RF is faster but with an f1 Noctilux the RF can be hard to nail. I have many out of focus images to attest to this- far more than with my 135mm... If you have time using peaking could have been good- and it does seem to produce very good results on the Sony cameras... so I don't know if I totally agree with you Jaap. I already find I can get a better hit rate using the EVF than the RF with the f1- but it is not as enjoyable- that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen B Posted June 30, 2014 Share #59 Posted June 30, 2014 Jacques, Jaapv - Thanks both for your responses. After a dozen tries, it's finally upgraded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erudolph Posted June 30, 2014 Share #60 Posted June 30, 2014 Half-press shutter button - this is one of the things Leica is still working on. Actually, it is working. I'd misread the release notes and thought that in PERMANENT a half-press was going to show me the "image adjusted for best visibility." However, I'm seeing simulated exposures at shutter speeds greater than 1/30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
