Leica Q Typ 116 camera review

By LR admin | Published: February 12, 2017

This Leica Q Typ 116 camera review is by K. Chae (Blog | Instagram | Website).

If you have an interesting idea for a guest post, you can contact me here.

A year with Q

I’ve been a long time Leica M user, and as much as I love Leica brand, I never was as much intrigued in Leica cameras other than M. That all changed when Leica Q arrived, however. While Leica hasn’t been so successful at delivering truly magnificent ‘digital’ cameras, they finally got it right with the Q. Upon testing it at out Leica store I knew I wanted it. And since one August day in 2015, I’ve been carrying it with me around the world to capture moments never to be duplicated. Here, I’d like to share my experience using the Q during the last year and a half. Share photographs I’ve made and how I went about getting them.

The spirit level / virtual horizon is coming back to the Leica M10 with a firmware update

By LR admin | Published: February 8, 2017


Update on my last Leica M10 camera Q&A post regarding the missing spirit level/virtual horizon: I received several confirmations that Leica will put back this feature in one of the upcoming M10 firmware updates (probably will not be part of the upcoming 1.0.2.0).

Update: I received some conflicting information on this rumor, so we should see if this will happen.
