Most cameras and lenses, to a variable extent, are commoditized. Leica is not. Of course Leica products are not several-fold better. In fact, I think there are a number of products that are better...

Great! Nothing like the endorsement of an actual user.

I am a firm believer in IP. Filmic (and anybody doing novel work) should get all the IP protection it's entitled to. My only...

"...programming virtuosos who coax amazing images..." Clearly, you are a fan! I just hope you are not a related party!

The patent has been granted already. Of course,...

Hyper111:

They did put computational photography in a point-and-shoot. The result, the Light L16, was technically exciting but a pain to use and a flop. Light stopped making it and has turned into...

Thank you, HowaboutRAW. You explained it better.

I assumed, wrongly, that Light L16 was well-known.

The Light L16 concept was great and under very controlled and limited circumstances, the...

Not sure I agree. The Light L16 - I was one of the first customers plonking down $1700 or so 2 years before I actually received the device - was a colossal flop despite being technically advanced....

There are two separate points here:

1. I think the value of AF is underestimated. I have two Otuses (Otii?) that are devilishly difficult to use with Canon 1Dx in terms of focusing - and have been...

Sine-Nomine's interpretation of mmarian's statement is not silly - mmarian's original statement is - as is mmarian's literal interpretation of the point Sine-Nomine is making. I think an example...

He should go to jail - and must pay the fine. If he is ruined financially, so be it. The stupid idiot should be glad he is not in a country where he would be executed for something like this.

Looks strikingly similar to (but smaller than) the Canon 200-400/f4L with the built-in 1.4x converter!

I think all discussion threads and posts should be disabled on any article that includes Leica. It is the same set of arguments by Leica haters and lovers!

Given a choice, would you rather not eat...

Very sensitive photographs and absolutely wonderful work! The fact that it was done in such an unusual manner adds more interest and charm!

Unattractive pictures - partly technique/photographer and partly the lens. At f/11, it does not have the shallow depth of field that characterizes such long lenses - and so distant subjects are not...

Very well written!

As I see it, for a professional (or a non-pro in pursuit of a specific assignment/project), the final product is the main and perhaps the only goal. The medium chosen therefore...
