Ok, thanks for clearing that up Steve.

i still don't know how this works. Is the software installed on your machine and the licence checked once a month?
I hope you don't have to go online every time you want to edit a photo??

why not stay with sony and try the rx100?

Rainbow lorikeet, FZ150.

tested, failed. bugger. exposure way off, went to manual mode..again. tried some simple fill on this bird only worked in manual mode:

I am also getting shocking erratic results with the mkiii-580ex combo, but have not tested with new firmware. thanks for the heads up.

Hiring makes a lot of sense if you only need it a couple of times a year.

Had no error message with the canon battery or third party 'Kapahen' from Best Batt.

If you look at the DXO display used by the OP it is pretty shocking, it i going to shake your confidence in the brilliance of leica optics, much akin to discovering what sausages are made...

I've noticed mine has that minus 8 thingy as well, that should be set to zero right?

yes, the firmware kept the previous plus 4 adjustment. i tested again with center point focus, new result is zero mfa needed, tried upper off center focus which i use a lot, same result, no mfa...

My 'kapahen' brand from Best Batt work fine, same as the canon battery, no error message.

no change on the 135L, +4 . But i retested it, reset the mfa back to zero, tested twice, once at 2 meters another at 10 meters, same result. zero adjustment needed. go figure.    Batteries: My...

that would explain why many manufacturers stop at 28mm, - go wider and its pushing the envelope. Plus with sweep pano and/or stitching, is 24mm really so necessary anymore??

My, what big teeth you have...grizzly is the bad vicious one right?

AF at f8 works, 400L 1.4TC.

done

what is wrong with it? any design flaws - weaknesses? Price cuts occur when something ain't selling well don't they?

My main cameras are blazing fast DSLRs, lx3 is like moving from a ferrari to a bicycle.
