Thanks everyone for the comments and info. I think I’m responding to the fact that if I shoot RAW on my R5, but I’ve shot with a monochrome setting in-camera, then it will remain that way once imported into Lightroom. I was hoping for something similar with Leica. This also means that if I use multiple color profiles in-camera, when I import them, they maintain the profile with which they were shot. It’s a great feature in terms of convenience. Not Leica’s specialty. I will re-check my Lightroom settings to see if it is honoring the camera color profile on import, or converting to Adobe.

Hello all, I shoot DNG nearly exclusively. I noticed that when I bring the files shot with the internal M11 Monochrome profile, that once imported into Lightroom, they are no longer black and white. The M11 profiles do not seem to be available in Lightroom. Has anyone solved this? Thanks, Dave

For anyone who is curious, I sold the flash for $400 on eBay. I paid $450 for a used SF 40 in Like New condition. Totally worth it and the flash is way more reliable.

Thanks for the info. I decided to pick up a Leica SF 40. Works exactly as I hoped it would. Funny, it was a few hundred dollars cheaper than the older 24D.

I'm reading lots of talk about using manual settings and I see the logic. In fact, that's what I've been doing as well for a few years with one exception. When I got an SF 60 (since sold) I used it in TTL mode and the results were pretty effortlessly good for digital. It made for such a simple workflow. For instance, while shooting if you got closer to the subject you didn't need to make any adjustments on the flash or camera, which is great because I'd typically have the flash in one hand and the camera in the other, and seeing as how the Leica is fully manual, my hands were kind of full! Fumbling for settings on camera or flash made for clumsy work. TTL solves that for the most part. I should mention that I am primarily an available light photographer and sort of hate strobes and flashes for the kind of work I shoot that "moves" me. However, I'm always looking for new ways to express myself and don't want the equipment to get in the way.

Thank you all for the information. It looks like I'll be selling my 24D to buy the SF 40 as I want TTL in order to work more quickly. @Luke_Miller I found a digital copy of the manual online.

Hello, I'm trying to get my M11 and 24D to get along. I'm using a Nikon SC-17 cable, and while the flash will fire in TTL mode, I cannot seem to get a proper exposure so it seems to me that TTL is simply not working. I checked the batteries and they have plenty of power in them. I've told the flash what aperture setting I'm using, and set the ISO on the camera to 800. The shutter speed is set to the flash sync setting (lightning bolt). It simply does not appear to be working as a TTL flash. I'd appreciate any advice. I'm open to the possibility of needing to buy a more modern TTL flash but am hoping that won't be necessary. Thanks!

I have an iPhone 8 running ios 12.0 Leica FOTOS 0.24.0 No joy connecting, and it froze my camera twice so I've abandoned attempts to use the app for now.

I upgraded my firmware yesterday, and became a beta tester of the Foto app today. After connecting via the QR code, the app reported that I'd been disconnected, the camera showed an error message, and then froze. I had to remove the battery to get the camera to turn back on again. This happened twice the same way. Needless to say, I'm disappointed and unlikely to try this again. It's very scary when you're A camera appears dead!
