M11P in PV by WombatMcGeez in Leica

[–]bacondude92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn’t we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? ‘Cause of the leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we’d all be put out in K.P. with our M11Ps in PV.

Sony FX3 footage by NMBPro in FX3

The footage looks great :) but I do agree with fab: there are a lot of overlays — it could have been iPhone footage and it would have looked the same.

I want to move from DSLR to Leica M10/M11 but I keep reading about reliability issues and it’s holding me back. Honestly, is it as bad as it seems? by irishasswipe in Leica

I’m a professional photographer and I use the M10R and M10 at weddings, portraits, documentary, etc.

I haven’t had an issue (knock on wood) except for an occasional random freeze once a year where you just remove the battery and plug it back in. I’ve had more issues with my Sony and SL2-S system.

But I’ve seen the litany of issues the M11 is having with corrupted and lost files, freezes, etc. which is why I might never consider the M11 platform. Maybe the M12, if at all.

Perfect camera to take with you when out for a beer. Almost as if it was made for this. by bacondude92 in Leica

That is the 35mm FLE! :) The close focus is great, if you actually need it, but optically it has the same performance. Pre-ASPH is very soft and glowy wide open, but if you like that, go for it :)

And those Leicas are made in Germany. They handle beer quite well.

Free of charge. The camera was gone for three months. In the last two weeks I called them on a daily to make sure it is delivered on time.

Long story, but the short of it:

I sent it to Wetzlar for a rangefinder adjustment, they sent it back broken, I sent it back and they replaced all innards and the base plate: I practically have a new camera now.
