In addition, you got many more Leica Looks with the Lux app. No it’s not. The D Lux has a four thirds sensor, which is way bigger than the sensor you find in a smartphone. More pixels doesn’t mean more quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in practice, in decent light, the difference may not be that huge. Edited May 15 by Goon525 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More pixels doesn’t mean more quality. Actually more pixels can mean more quality. I’m planning an exhibition in Paris that will use large prints and there is a distinct difference between a photo from an S3 with a large medium format 60 megapixel sensor and the wee essentially 17 megapixel sensor in the D Lux 8.

EnglishmanInLatvia Posted May 15 Share #165 Posted May 15 The Lux app has a new artist look feature. The first is Greg Williams. The Leica publicity says, “The new Artist Look series puts the creative DNA of renowned photographers in your hands. The Artist Look by Greg Williams is the first in this limited series – crafted in collaboration with Greg himself.” Available to update on the App Store. You may need to refresh apps to update by pulling down on your avatar on the App Store app. You can also now mark Looks as favourites to access them quickly and you can vote for new features.

But the S has an even bigger sensor. Put it this way: you have a medium format camera with 60mp, an APS-C sensor with 60mp and a smartphone with 60mp. Which one will produce an overall better image?

mkliu Posted May 18 Share #167 Posted May 18 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, My LUX grip been working great until it does not turn on after full charge. I have tried a few things like plug in charging - no charing lights on; press shutter button - no LED; hold down shuttler and both FN button - no LED. Would you have any suggestions or experience on similar case? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are best contacting Leica. Your grip is under warranty. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khw77 Posted May 24 Share #169 Posted May 24 Could someone kindly measure the dimensions of the Leica grip please? I'm interested in one, having used the Fjorden grip, but the dimensions don't seem to be published anywhere. Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCF Posted May 26 Share #171 Posted May 26 It appears that the leather case for the grip is now in stock (ref 18598). I just got mine. Welcome, dear visitor!

dunfr Posted June 29 Share #173 Posted June 29 Just a quick tip — I found that a standard 1/4" D-ring mounting screw (the kind used for tripod/QR plates) fits perfectly in the Leica Grip case. (Plenty of choice on Amazon for about £5). It stays snug, allows for charging without removal, and adds a bit of convenience. Thought it might help others — photos attached! Welcome, dear visitor!

budrichard Posted September 29 Share #174 Posted September 29 Got my Grip about a week ago. After pairing initially the Grip disconnects when not in use. Took awhile to figure out that all you need to do is have the App open and press and hold the shutter release down until you see reconnected on the screen. My case is on backorder. I am using a 14Pro and testing the pics against a Leica M 240 21mm 2.8 ASPH and Nikon Zf 24mm 2.8. I have to reshoot the Leica M as I found even with 1/2 stop Auto Bracket the pics were underexposed. I do not bracket with the Zf because the Matrix Metering has proved to be 100% accurate. Because I have an extensive history of analog photography, I do not 'chimp' usually. The M causes me the most exposure problems. More to come. -Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
budrichard Posted 6 hours ago Share #175 Posted 6 hours ago Took my 14 Pro and LUX Grip to a Lucha Libre match. We had front row seats. The Grip was useless. Set to Flash, the pre flash sequence and then shutter activation took a loooong time, Capturing action was useless. Turing OFF the flash was not better as my choice of 90mmm f1.5 yielded minimal depth of field and a slow shutter speed, again useless. Using the 14 Pro on its own was better in the that shutter actuation was fast but a slow shutter speed rendered most exposures useless. Next time I will use my Nikon Zf! -Richard 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!
