HenrikP Posted June 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi My Q will not shift from f2.8, no matter what, if I use my phone as control I can change it, but when I close my phone it is back on 2.8, regardless of what I do, and it is not in Macro mode back to wetzlar or?

Advertisement Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Hi HenrikP, Take a look here My Q is stocked on F2.8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted June 22, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 22, 2018 Is it set for auto aperture? Can you change the setting on manual aperture, and that works? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted June 22, 2018 Share #4 Posted June 22, 2018 Try a full reset/reload firmware? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted June 22, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 22, 2018 At the very least speak with your dealer and/or Wetzlar. If the camera is almost new your dealer might exchange it. I suspect you camera will be visiting Germany. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmschuh Posted June 29, 2018 Share #9 Posted June 29, 2018 Hi My Q will not shift from f2.8, no matter what, if I use my phone as control I can change it, but when I close my phone it is back on 2.8, regardless of what I do, and it is not in Macro mode back to wetzlar or? I would switch between macro mode and normal mode several times, probably it is an electrical contact problem. If this does not help, the camera must be repaired or replaced. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrikP Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted July 7, 2018 Is it set to P-A-S-M mode or Auto? All of them, all the same, after update to 3.0 it shiftet, now it is locked to 1.7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this does not help, the camera must be repaired or replaced. I`we send it back to Leica I am the owner of 4 x Canon, 1 x Olympus and 1 x fujifilm 2 x Leica. The only cameras that had to be send back for repair is the 2 Leica 3 times total in only 3 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Guy Posted July 7, 2018 Share #14 Posted July 7, 2018 Porsche can be used daily and is more reliable than Ferrari My cupholder failed in my Porsche after 7 years. I’m so disappointed in their non-perfect reliability. Lol. My Porsche has been stunningly reliable all 15 years of driving. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 8, 2018 Share #15 Posted July 8, 2018 Porsche can be used daily and is more reliable than Ferrari Yes, but there are areas in Amsterdam where you cannot drive them without being stopped by the police on a regular basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrikP Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share #16 Posted July 11, 2018 Well first of all it is not a Porsche or a Ferrari. it ain't that fast They want 1.380,00 EUR to fix it, nearly 1/3 of the New price. My love for Leica has cooled. sadly. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mute-on Posted July 11, 2018 Share #17 Posted July 11, 2018 Well if it as a Porsche or Ferrari, and the engine spontaneously exploded, you wouldn’t expect to have to pay for a new one. I hope there is some kind of warranty recourse. Otherwise, that would seem totally ridiculous! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leica Guy Posted July 11, 2018 Share #19 Posted July 11, 2018 No warranty recourse I cannot also attest that some small percentage of Porsche 986 (Boxster) engines do spontaneously implode. IMS bearing failure. For awhile Porsche stood behind them and there was a class action lawsuit. At this point with a 15 year old car, it would all be on me. I think thats pretty much been the case after 8 years old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tofu_man Posted July 13, 2018 Share #20 Posted July 13, 2018 th Well first of all it is not a Porsche or a Ferrari. it ain't that fast They want 1.380,00 EUR to fix it, nearly 1/3 of the New price. My love for Leica has cooled. sadly. that's a lot of money....it seems in poor taste that others should joke about it I get the impression that the Q is very expensive to repair. Mine is well out of warranty, and I'm thinking about selling it, and getting a used M9 (a camera I miss hugely). I'd probably think about getting a Fuji or Sony if I had to cough up nearly 1,400 EUR to repair my Q. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
