Haha! My French is ok - I can get by fine! Thank you, unfortunately Leica takes forever to get the camera to Germany for prognosis...

Thanks. Oddly enough, the weather both days I was there was stunning. Very mild and sunny!

One further observation I would make is that the XT30 seemed to consistently overexpose in aperture priority which was a bit frustrating.

Cheers!

Thanks v much. Agree re focal length, I’m much more of a 35mm person and when shooting from the hip I misjudged a few shots.

My Leica has an electrical issue so is in for repair. I was left camera-less so picked up a refurbished X-T30 (having only previously used X-Pro and X-T models) from Fuji directly and borrowed the ...

I assume it'll be 1/2 the price....

For anybody interested, I took the camera to Leica UK store today. One of the technicians had a look and almost immediately identified there is likely to be an electrical failure somewhere ...

So I tested the camera with all my SD cards (all formatted), both batteries etc, and still the problem persists. Leica UK were of the view that there was an internal issue as this shouldn't happen ...

So I spoke to Leica, they said it would need to go to Germany which is a 15 week turnaround. To my mind, the problem is either the SD card, the battery, or it really is something internal which is ...

Just to update on this, I am still having issues with a 64GB Sandisk card. I took the camera out last week and it froze a couple of times in around 150 shots so thought it had improved. I just took ...

Further to the above comment, I had a look online at Canon DSLRs (which I've used in the past) and actually fantastic deals can be had on the 7D Mk II, which I have to say is quite an appealing ...

To all those suggesting T2 over T1, this is probably sensible and I will consider it. Note the T2 in the U.K. is approx 70% more expensive than the T1. To those suggesting rental, I also considered ...

Oops, need to update my gear list. Don’t have it anymore! Only own one digital camera which is a Leica m240

Thanks!

As noted in my original post, I highly doubt I will do any more safari or wildlife photography after this trip (or at least for many many years), so tbh I want to be economical when purchasing a ...

Hi all. In a nutshell, I am going to South Africa, a couple of days of which will be on a safari. African safari as I understand it is a lot of more stationary animals etc. I currently only own a ...

Thanks all. They are Leica batteries. Will try with 64GB cards and hopefully the problem won’t subsist.

So had my m240 for a year or so, worked fine. I am using a 128GB SD card. Since I updated my firmware to the latest, the camera is freezing a ridiculous amount. This usually happens when I turn ...

Thanks!
