hirohhhh Posted September 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Since the tethering issue with SL hasn't been resolved since it's release, I have to move forward and look for alternatives as my studio work relies on tethering. I love my Leica SL and would love to keep it, especially its lenses. I have all SL lenses and I was wondering what are the best alternatives for just SL body that supports tethering and can mount SL lenses? I never use anything other than Leica professionally, so I'm not much familiar with other brands. Any recommendation would be helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashGordonPhotography Posted September 4, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 4, 2019 Tethering to what hardware and software? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohhhh Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted September 4, 2019 I use new Macbook Pro and Lightroom Classic, but I tried C1 and Leica Image Shuttle, nothing ever worked for longer than 5 minutes. Lightroom sometimes takes minutes to start tethering, usually freezes after couple shots. Someone said LIS should work, but for me it works just the same, and on the top of that is a crap piece of software. C1 I tried a long ago, but as far as I remember they do not support Leica tethering at all. I also tried old Macbook with regular USB, instead USB-c port and it worked the same. I purchased the most expensive tethering cable in the world directly from Leica, but it also worked the same. Since 2016 I purchased 4-5 different cables, expensive and cheap ones. I tried friend's cable that he uses with his (I think) Canon just fine for years and it also didn't worked with my SL. But, there is another topic about tethering issues with SL, so if anyone have a solution, I'd suggest to reply there. Here I'm hoping to hear the best alternatives to SL body that can mount SL lenses and of course has not tethering issues. I'd prefer not to use lens adaptors, but if it's absolutely necessary, I'd like to know how that affects the IQ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirohhhh Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted September 7, 2019 Seems like I found the solution for tethering on SL and I described it here. Hope it will work to you too. I'm glad I (probably) won't have to replace my SL and that this solution will work in the future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
