scott kirkpatrick Posted December 2, 2015 Share #161 Posted December 2, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've got questions for Leica (or anyone else who knows the answer): what is the rated life of the small backup battery that is built into the body? What technology is it based on? I presume the camera needs to be sent in for service to replace it when it dies. dgktkr If you mean how long does it hold the date and time current when the Li-Ion battery dies, the answer is given in the manual as 3 months, a typical value. For when is a replacement needed because the backup won't charge up from the Li-Ion, I don't know, but M8s are still running around providing good service, and those appeared in 2006 or so. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the camera needs to be sent in for service to replace it when it dies. dgktkr I don't think anyone outside of Leica knows for sure, but I imagine it's actually some sort of capacitor. They tend to last a very long time with no problems at all, often the life of the device. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean ASA Posted December 4, 2015 Share #163 Posted December 4, 2015 Any thoughts/plans for higher quality TL Zoom's under the FF size. APSC/X lenses to allow for fast but compact zoom. (Like the Fuji's 50-140XF 2.8 zoom or as used by Canon 7d professional's). Given the 10MP APSC limitation, perhaps APSX. Leading to a Hybred or FF Primes and APSX Zooms. Not sure what others thoughts are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elopezso Posted December 5, 2015 Share #164 Posted December 5, 2015 When reviewing a vertical photo taken on the LCD, is there a way to select auto rotate so it pops up in a vertical position on the LCD? I can't find it in the manual. Thus, I wind up having to rotate the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2015 Share #165 Posted December 8, 2015 Is ISO 50 native? Will Leica release an off shoe chord or remote trigger for their up coming SF64 flash? Why did they choose not to make both SD slots UHS II compatible? Lens roadmap Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicaiste Posted December 9, 2015 Share #166 Posted December 9, 2015 Will Leica release an off shoe chord or remote trigger for their up coming SF64 flash. The Nikon off shoe cord is compatible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 9, 2015 Share #167 Posted December 9, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Nikon off shoe cord is compatible. Don't be tempted like I did at first to get a cheap clone off Fleabay. They don't fit well or work properly. I then got a S/H Nikon SC-28, which is beautifully made and works perfectly with the SF-58 and SF-24, including TTL/GNC. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
profus Posted December 9, 2015 Share #168 Posted December 9, 2015 Would it be - and if yes, how - be possible to use ( manual ) Nikkor lenses ( or ZF.2 Zeiss lenses ) on Leica SL? What kind of adapter is to be used for that purpose? What functionality is preserved? What is missing? Anyone tried that? Tnx / Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of adapter is to be used for that purpose? What functionality is preserved? What is missing? Anyone tried that? Tnx / Alex If you already have an Leica M to T adaptor, use it with any Nikon to Leica M adaptor … use with aperture priority. Any lens which will adapt to a Leica M will adapt to the SL. And Novoflex make 13 Leica SL/T adaptors for most legacy lenses including Nikon F. https://www.novoflex.com/en/products/adapters/ … lots of combinations are possible … select Leica SL / Leica T from the 'Choose Camera' options … then click on the 'Choose Lens' options to see all the available lens fittings. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I don't see any other way to use properly Nikon lenses on the SL. You need the Leica M-T adapter on the SL. It is currently the only adapter able to communicate with the SL electronics.

profus Posted December 10, 2015 Share #172 Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks for your answers. No - I do not have Leica M to T adapter. That's the adapter to be used when M lens is put on SL - right?I have just tested that in LeicaStore Munich ( tnx guys - it was very kind of you! ) and it worked as charm What functionality is missing when using Nikkor / ZF,2 lens instead of M lens on SL? I can see Novoflex is offering a single LET/NIK adapter? But you suggest it is better to use 2 adapters instead? And why I have to use it with aperture priority - isn't is possible to use full manual mode? Excuse my ignorance, I have just never played with those adapters before.

As I understand it (non-SL user ) the LET/NIK adapter won't allow you to select a focal length. Manual mode should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
