TechArt LM-EA9 For Leica M Mount Lenses is Being Teased

By Louis Ferreira | Published: June 20, 2022

The TechArt LM-EA7 is one of my favorite AF adapters for M-mount lenses on Sony and it is finally being updated with the TechArt LM-EA9. The TechArt LM-EA7 also went by TechArt Pro and it was compatible with just about all M-mount lenses. It looks like the TechArt LM-EA9 is a bit more compact, which […]

In addition to expanding the extension width of the proximity helicoid from the conventional 4.0 mm to 4.3 mm, the weight has been […]

DPRTV: Medium Format vs Full Frame vs APS-C

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 23, 2022

DPRTV posted a video about Medium Format vs Full Frame vs APS-C, but it seems they conflated a lot of medium format secret sauce arguments into a pretty good equivalent FOV/DOF comparison. Arguing about the look of medium format is much like arguing about the Leica look, you either see it or you don’t, but […]

Leica M11 Has Similar PDR to Sony a7RIV: Could Leica Be Using A Sony Sensor?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 22, 2022

It’s interesting to me that the new Leica M11 very closely matches the performance of the Sony a7RIV, because Leica has always been full of pride that their cameras are built primarily in Germany using European technology, but it looks to me like Leica may have convinced Sony to share a tweaked 60MP sensor with […]

A Tail of Two Cameras – Sony a7R and Leica M

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 13, 2022

Long-time readers know that I started blogging about photography at Leicarumors where I did reviews and attended meetings with Leica before diving into Fujifilm, Sony, and 43. At that time the Sony a7RII was a very hot camera and the Leica M9 was very popular too, but it had very limited useful high ISO and […]

FotodioX PRONTO Mark II Leica M-Mount Adapter

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 3, 2021

I tried the first M-mount adapter on the market for tech art and really enjoyed it, which you can read here. The Pronto adapter came out later and is probably based on software licensed from tech art and now there is a Proton Mark II, which seems to be a slight update that you can […]
