Panasonic announced new LX5 firmware
Today Panasonic announced new firmware for their LX5 camera The main improvements are:
- Improved AF performance (up to 23% faster on the wide-end)
- New high ISO NR mode
- Improved auto white balance
- Active mode (Power O.I.S)
- New miniature mode effect
- Shutter speed limit extended to 250sec
- Improved shutter operation
I expect that Leica will release a similar firmware update for their D-Lux 5 model in the next few months.
Leica M “pistol holder”
I was actually expecting holders like the one provided with the Leica M9 Titanium limited edition to hit the market right after the camera was announced last year. A reader just sent me a link to Wotancraft.com that makes just that – “Leica M pistol holder”:
There are two different versions available: Hektor ($169) and WWII reporter ($159).

Alternative Phottix 0.85x and 1.25x viewfinders magnifiers for Leica M rangefinders
After I just came across this new USB 3 card reader from Phottix, I realized that they also sell 0.85x and 1.25x viewfinder magnifiers for Leica M rangefinders for $69 each (for comparison, the original Leica 1.25x costs $299):
- Silver 0.85x viewfinder magnifier
- Black 0.85x viewfinder magnifier
- Silver 1.25x viewfinder magnifier
- Black 1.25x viewfinder magnifier
Leica carries also a 1.4x viewfinder magnifier.
