Winedemonium Posted January 13, 2022 Share #5741 Posted January 13, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) ....PS, it's hard, I know. I recently bought the M10-R BP instead of putting money down on the M11. I'll let the dust settle, others reach their verdicts, borrow or test one, and then if I like it, pre-order the M11-P.

Al Brown Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share #5742 Posted January 13, 2022 Does anybody have a clue what FILM STYLE option is in the menu from the Quick Start Guide Leica made available online? Will there be Portra 400 🙂? Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Probably something similar to the options available in NIK Software. An in-camera option would be irrelevant for me as I only shoot DNG. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some options (like the perspective control tool on M10-R) that seem like in-camera jpg only are embedded to the DNG file and can be recalled later in PS. Example: if I have perspective control ON the jpg will save it corrected immediatelly, but with DNG I can faithfully recall it by going to Camera Raw's GEOMETRY menu and select the last ("GUIDED") correction option.

I still have my M2, bought used in Chicago (and water-damaged, but I didn't notice for about 20 years) ca. 1970.. I bought it with the proceeds of the first portfolio that I ever sold. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGEND Posted January 13, 2022 Share #5747 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) An idea... how to “fix“ problem with a shutter on Leica M11... Last night, after a whole day and night following and reading this forum, I was going very late in my bed to sleep. This time around 02h in the night, perhaps because the posts slowed down so I could't read anything new. Normal people was already in bed resting for tomorrow Leica event not like me a Leica fanatic. And again, as often I do, I had a “Leica dream“. This time I was dreaming to go to the Leica event with plane. No PRC tests or jabs needed, no masks, everybody was happy and smiling. Then in when we landed on the destination I noticed that I lost my home key somewhere on the plane. I was sad because I have one small Leica key chain with nice red Leica brand written on it. Next appeared dr. Kaufmann and told me I should look under a seat and in lost/found in the airport terminal. He also said I should't turn my home key too hard because it can brake and then I have real problem. I don't know why he said that but he is dr. Andreas Kaufmann, owner of Leica and he can say what ever he want... Not important, I have strange dreams... My idea or “solution“ of this shutter problem that was discussed here in length and kept me awake last night is this. I got her first thing in the morning in my mind. Perhaps it could be implemented in next firmware to have option to turn off Live View and also with that to close first curtain. That way it don't need first too close then to open then to close and again to open like when the camera operate in Live View. That way the first curtain of shutter is already already closed end don't need to go that extra way. Uf course we loose exposure metering because M11 have metering from the sensor. We can use the camera like old M3 or MA that had no exposure metering at all. Some kind of “classic rangefinder mode“... If we need to make exposer metering just assign one FN button to start Live View and the the metering is on. No need to meter light all the time. Just like in old analog times... That way the shutter is faster, less lag. Perhaps also to have function to make shutter to start on the first position on shutter button. That way it is even more responsive and even less shutter lag... We can make a petition here and if enough people sign on Leica can make it happen on next FW update. This is solution only for the Leica purist... Only an idea... Edited January 13, 2022 by LEGEND 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perspective correction that appeared on the M10 is different. It appears as metadata passed in each DNG file and can be used by your raw file development software. Is it mentioned anywhere in the Quickstart file? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can make 6K if we keep all comments on early reviews in this thread (except for Jono's of course -- at the proper time he will start his own thread for comments, questions and feedback). Less than 100 posts or 5 pages to go. Liveblogging the announcement should do it, even if there are no surprises Edited January 13, 2022 by scott kirkpatrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGEND Posted January 13, 2022 Share #5757 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) aha, there is a nice thing finally... Leica M11 and Leica FOTOS app can exchange photos per USB-C cable. If the wifi conection does't work well you have allways the possibility to import photos per USB-C cable in the FOTOS app... I like that... Perhaps it also works with SL2, SL2-S cameras...
