Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Show Us Your Leica Kit - Round 3

13.8K views June 8, 2024 9:30 pm

Join Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas as they bring together two favorite topics: “What’s in Our Bag” featuring favorite gear of the Leica Store Miami team, and “Show Us Your Kit” where they react to user-submitted Leica kits.
They will comment and geek out, offering up suggestions for adding to, paring down, or making changes based on each setup. Or maybe just gush over some unique camera or lens that they wish they had. Plus, you'll get to see what our team is using this year.

How to Submit
=======================
Submissions are welcome before the livestream.

Briefly tell us about your kit, what kind of photography you're into, any challenges you're having or goals you want to achieve, and maybe some changes you're thinking about making.

Make sure to include a high resolution picture of your Leica kit - whether it’s a camera-in-hand shot of your favorite single-lens setup or a lay flat of your entire kit with accessories, snacks and all.

Images should be in JPEG format and at least 2000 x 3000px, or 6MP. If pictures are too low resolution, we can't use them. Remember, we broadcast in full 4K so we need all those glorious pixels.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: It STILL Depends!

17.4K views January 13, 2024 10:35 pm

Now, with so many new cameras and lenses introduced over the past few years, they're taking a fresh look at some of the most frequent difficult decisions facing Leica photographers because.... it still depends! Rather than just simple answers of A versus B versus C, they'll walk through their thought process step-by-step to explain various strategies and approaches, whether you're just starting out on your Leica journey, or have come to a crossroads after many years and need help making those tough choices.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: The Bokeh Episode

14.5K views September 10, 2023 8:26 pm

In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas are diving deep into bokeh. Often an enigmatic subject, bokeh is the rendering of out-of-focus objects in a photo and is influenced by a wide variety of factors. They'll discuss what makes 'good' bokeh and how lens choice, aperture and focus distance all contribute to a pleasing background. And of course, Josh and David have brought plenty of lenses of various focal lengths, maximum apertures and vintages to demonstrate live in the studio.

30.6K views July 29, 2023 9:20 pm

In this week's Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas are back for another Ask Us Anything session. Instead of focusing on a single camera system, lens line or specific topics like we usually do, we're taking any and all questions. Ask us about Leica cameras and lenses, new and old, shooting and focusing techniques, or whatever you might be curious about that we can answer for you. Feel free to hit us up with questions beforehand by emailing questions@reddotforum.com, or ask us live in the chat.

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Leica Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400mm

15.4K views April 8, 2023 9:29 pm

In this episode of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas are talking about the recently-introduced 100-400mm Vario-Elmar-SL and how it fits in to the SL lineup. Of course, it wouldn't be a Red Dot Forum Camera Talk lens episode without extensive head-to-head testing. Tune in to see how the new superzoom stacks up against the reference-class 90-280mm APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL, other compatible zooms and some legendary telephotos from the past.
