Leica reports:
December 13, 2016 – Leica Camera announced today the
release of its Summilux-SL 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH lens and Firmware Version 2.2 for
the LEICA SL.
Leica Summilux-SL 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH.
The Leica Summilux-SL 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH is the first
prime lens for the Leica SL-System and sets a new standard on the market. Its
large maximum aperture makes it the ideal partner in situations with
challenging light, enabling the use of shallow depth of field as a creative
tool. Fast, precise and reliable autofocus helps guarantee optium sharpness,
leaving photographers free to concentrate on composition and creativity. The combination of its resolving power and
soft bokeh in out-of-focus areas clearly isolates subjects from their
surroundings, particularly when shooting at maximum aperture.
Firmware version 2.2, the latest update for the
innovative Leica SL mirrorless camera system, provides improved support for the
MAC versions of Leica Image Shuttle 3.5 and Leica Tethered Plug-in 1.1.0. Now, version 2.2 also supports the new
Microsoft Windows version of Leica Image Shuttle 3.5, improving compatibility
and workflow efficiency for tethered shooting with the Leica SL. Image Shuttle
3.5 also allows users to control the camera from a computer via a USB 3.0 cable
connection and manipulate shutter speed, aperture, ISO value and autofocus,
displaying images directly on a large monitor screen for assessment.
Registered camera owners can log into the Leica
Owners’ Area (https://owners.leica-camera.com) and download the new software
and firmware updates, or visit any Leica Store to receive complimentary update
installation by Leica Camera specialists.
The Leica Tethered Plug-in 1.1.0 (for MAC) – also
available as a download from the Leica Owners’ Area – establishes a direct
connection between the Leica SL and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 / CC for MAC
via USB cable. The shutter release of the camera can be activated from the
computer, with images captured displayed directly in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
6 / CC (for MAC), making the workflow even faster and more reliable. A
corresponding firmware update is required for the use of Leica Image Shuttle
and the Leica Tethered Plug-in.
Finally, in addition to the new tethering
compatibility, firmware update 2.2 removes the shutter speed limitation when
shooting with 6-bit coded Leica M-Lenses, further optimizing the performance of
the Leica SL mirrorless camera system.
The firmware is available now from the LEICA SLdownload area.
