Yes, I know it is supposed to only work on TTL-HSS … and that is the way it worked before.

Suddenly, TTL-HSS is not available at all in the SF58 selection menu, but TTL is there … then, the camera and flash will fire in just TTL up to 1/4000 in CS mode and up to 1/125 in FP mod…

David Farkas;6166 wrote: Interesting approach. I'm trying to think about how this could be implemented without creating a possible stumbling block. Imagine you pick up the camera, forget to change the focus zone and end up either thinking the lens is broken or missing a shot because you were fumbling with the menus.

Any thoughts?

Finally got mine as well. Extremely pleased with the lens.

David and Josh, may be you guys can let Leica know my simple (firmware) feature request:
With S lens most times I need to get handheld speed of at least 1/2f instead of 1/f. In aperture priority + auto ISO mode, the S supports setting minimum shutter speed of 1/f or a manual…[Read more]

Leica need to add the option of making auto power off a default preference,it is ridculous to have to keep replacing the battery.

Here is slightly shopped version with more black borders, I think it looks better 🙂

Superb shots David! Normally I would comment on how magical the Noct shot is. But then I think these 70mm shots are even more breathtaking!

I didn't find the 70mm CS to be…[Read more]

Indeed I hope my brain can incorporate something like the new S camera's predictive focusing:)

Thanks Scott! They're all captured with the Noctilux 0.95

Ok SDXC card issue resolved, thanks to Alex AR's post

(1) Do not format SDXC card in Leica S since out of factory they're ExFat format
(2) Instead, format SDXC card in PC/Mac first into MS-DOS(FAT) format.
(3) Then format the card in Leica S again just to make sure

Happily now the card works in S.

Looking forward to the review David! Also if possible, please share with us how you'd like to process the files from MM.

I think David mentioned sometime ago that it's not a priority with Leica currently. I guess to achieve the new increments they need precise calibration at each ISO level.

They can add that BW mode with the CS switch, that way does not change the form factor or add any unnecessary buttons 😀

Please ask if they're planing on Leica S Monochrom:p joking of course.

Very impressive news on the CS lenses!

Practice perhaps?

This post seems be abandoned for a while…

So users here really want 1-click zoom, which is yet to be implemented. Today I am thinking of the annoying way to pan/scroll when reviewing an image. Even after 6 months I still cannot get used to it, it's just not intuitive.

I have an idea: in review mode, we can use a long push on the 4…[Read more]
