[Leica] IMG: X100S

[Herbert Kanner]

The problem with the firmware is that if I put it into macro mode, use macro mode, and then return to normal mode, lots of things stop working right and I have to do a reset. Then I have to manually set a few things to restore the options I had. The firm answer from LUG members was KISS (Keep it simple, stupid), don’e use that mode, just crop the picture.

I decided to get that camera as a second camera in situations where I don’t want to bring a Leica. The decision was made after seeing a number of pictures taken with it on the LUG gallery and was impressed with the sharpness, and 35mm is my favorite focal length.
