steppenw0lf Posted October 10, 2016 Share #81 Posted October 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) There's some unfinished business in lens profiles for R lenses used on the SL. The SL writes distortion correction information in the DNG files (and presumably makes comparable corrections to the in-camera JPEGs) for all the wide angle R primes, EXCEPT the Super Elmarit-R 15/2.8, the Super-Elmar 15/3.5, and the two versions of Super-Angulon 21 mm lenses (/3.4 and /4.0). When the R to SL adapter becomes generally available, it will be necessary to add corrections that support the various Vario-Elmar zooms as well, since with the adapter, the SL finally knows what focal length is now in use. Some or all of this may be already deployed in firmware 2.0 or 2.1, but we can't tell yet. scott I wonder if both versions of Elmarit R 28 are in the lens profiles. I found only one (11259, but not 11204/11247), but I do not have the very latest level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashGordonPhotography Posted October 11, 2016 Share #83 Posted October 11, 2016 On/Off switch for long exposure noise reduction - has this been addressed ? No. Compulsory on M, SL and S cameras. We live in hope. Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicaiste Posted December 9, 2016 Share #84 Posted December 9, 2016 Some improvements I would like to see in the next firmware for the SL : - Add the R Apo-Extender 2X ROM and the Macro-Adapter ROM to the list of "ROM lenses" usable with the Leica R Adapter L. If not possible, at least let the SL give access to the in camera R lenses list when these two accessories are in use. - Upgrade dramatically the usability of the Novoflex Canon EF Adapter to SL. - Let the auto-iso work in flash mode.

MRJohn Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share #85 Posted December 9, 2016 - Add the R Apo-Extender 2X ROM and the Macro-Adapter ROM to the list of "ROM lenses" usable with the Leica R Adapter L. Would be nice indeed, and make the R Apo-Extender 2X ROM pass on the information which ROM lens is installed; e.g.: Apo-Extender 2X plus 4/280 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernMan Posted December 9, 2016 Share #86 Posted December 9, 2016 Add older Telyt's to the list of R lenses, such as the 400/6.8 (slide focus), 280/4.8, Televit 400/560. At a stretch, some viso lenses could be added 125/2.5, 200/4.0. I'll agree that most of these would likely be used only rarely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 22, 2016 Share #88 Posted December 22, 2016 My Pentax K7 allowed me to rename in camera files such SPB_ and append that with the image serial number. I thought that was brilliant and would like this to be possible on any camera I own. I know it is easy in Lightroom and other apps to do this, but that is not so-set-it-once-done.

ramarren Posted December 26, 2016 Share #91 Posted December 26, 2016 No, someone needs to take the time an do it - and I am unclear what 2.2 provides, it does not seem that a comprehensive spec sheet is available, or, alternatively, there is nothing comprehensive about it Firmware version 2.2 is an incremental update with just a few 'top features' and minor bug fixes. It does not provide extensive new or modified features. Firmware Version 2.2 New Top Features: Added support for Leica Image Shuttle 3.5 (Windows) Improved support for Leica Image Shuttle 3.5 (MAC) and for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® Tethered Plug-In 1.1.0 (MAC) Changed exp. limitation in combination with 6bit coded M-lenses * Bug Fixes: Fixed, missing data in EXIF in combination with lens adapters Several minor bug fixes ** * I haven't done extensive testing on this yet, but I believe what they're referring to is that with fw2.2, adapted manual lenses have been given back a bit more metering range on the low end. With earlier revisions, I found metering for times longer than about 1/8 second with M or R lenses fell short of the mark (underexposure) whereas now it looks like I'm getting down to about 1 second with good results and without fussing with exposure simulation mode to check all the time. That's a good two-three EV more range. Again, I'm not 100% sure yet but that's what it looks like. ** One 'bug fix' seems to be more accurate focus peaking performance, and consequent changes to the AF system which enables the SL24-90 lens to autofocus with more accuracy at the long end. It's a subtle but observable change in overall sharpness and image quality with the SL24-90 when autofocusing at 90mm. I haven't checked the AutoISO bug to see if they did anything there yet. Both LIS and the LR plug-in seem to have improved performance and reliability, although I haven't used them extensively so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted December 28, 2016 Share #92 Posted December 28, 2016 Back to auto-ISO: It would be convenient to have two constraints for this setting, for instance that min shutter speed is limited by (1/2f) AND (1/125 sec). The reason for this request araises when wide angle lenses are used: Yes, I can handhold a 21 mm at 1/40 sec, but it is not given that 1/40 sec will freeze a person's movement... Min shutter speed can be set at auto-ISO, but one speed will not suit wide and long(er) lenses. So when several focal lengths are in use, it is easy to forget that auto-ISO with (1/2f) work for many but not for all lenses. I am talking about experience and lost shots with my WA lenses. Others may remember to update settings when lenses are switched, but this is certainly not the case for me when time is limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL should be adapting automatically to any natiive lens, to any M lens that's coded, to any R ROM lens with the appropriate adapter (or if you set the lens profile appropriately). But even beyond that, if you're talking about M lenses, and you know you're using any lens from 50mm on down, just set it to be min at 1/125 sec (if that's possible, I forget and don't have the camera here with me) because that will cover any 1/2f up to 50mm anyway. ???n Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helged Posted December 29, 2016 Share #94 Posted December 29, 2016 The point is that it is easy (for me, at least) to forget to explicitly shift the minimum shutter speed from 1/2f to (say) 1/125 s when _quickly_ shifting from normal to tele (50-280 mm) to wa (16-21 m) M or R lenses. A two-parameter auto-ISO setting would eliminate this. That's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzX Posted December 29, 2016 Share #95 Posted December 29, 2016 I wish a possibility to use my flash SF 64 or a group of Leica flashes by remote trigger. Not possible ??? Sony did it quite recently by an update of the firmware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two-parameter auto-ISO setting would eliminate this. That's all. I've never seen any manufacturer offer a "two-parameter" AutoISO limit setting, but wishes are fine. However, "quickly shifting" from normal to tele to ultra-wide-angle ... to me, that's dizzying and usually means I shoot garbage for half an hour to an hour. More power to you if you can actually switch mental vision that fast! I usually don't switch in and out of UWA in less than an hour's study and consideration.

Profile 1 for tele, 2 for normal, 3 for WA. You could set up your auto ISO behavior for each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roey Posted February 14, 2017 Share #99 Posted February 14, 2017 #64 - Option for setting the minimum (or maximum?) focus distance. When shooting sports with the 90-280 with AFc the camera occasionally loses the subject and then spends 2-3 seconds hunting for focus. I imagine that that time can be shortened if I could tell the camera to not even try to focus on anything that isn't at least 10 meters away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
