Birds in flight can be unpredictable — but this gannet is captured perfectly with the aid of the Fuji X-T2 and the 50-140mm f/2.8 Fujinon zoom. The lens offers stabilisation with a 5-stop advantage but it will work even better when combined with the new IBIS-equipped X-H1. Photo David Bailey

Why is in-body and in-lens stabilisation becoming a must-have feature on mirrorless cameras?

Claus made an impromptu visit to the new Leitz Park at Wetzlar. And what better camera to have in hand than his new Leica M6 TTL?

The M6 TTL is an enhanced version of the "classic" M6 with improved flash metering and the larger shutter speed dial which moves in the opposite direction as a more natural complement to the exposure indicator triangles in the viewfinder

If you want the most up-to-date Leica film camera, incorporating the same auto exposure you will find on the M10, then the choice is clear — it's the current Leica M7. But the pre-auto cameras with light metering, including the superseded M6 and the current MP, that seem to attract most followers. Why is this?

On the Leica CL, this 40mm Nokton has an full-frame equivalent focal length of 60mm. As with the 40mm view through the M10, the CL enjoys betwixt-and-between goodness, with 60mm sitting between the 50-75mm range. It's good for street work as well as portraiture.

The Leica M set the parameters for standard focal lengths — 28, 35, 50, 75, 90. The 40mm VM Nokton is thus an odd one out by historic standards. Leica did experiment with 40mm on the original CL but it didn't catch on. Now, however, the attractions of a middle road — the meat in the sandwich between 35mm and 50mm — are becoming apparent. And with electronic viewfinders the old frameline problem disappears.

Leica Q at Grindelwald station, Berner Oberland, July 2015
Posted on by Mike Evans
The Q has been an unprecedented success for Leica and is only just becoming freely available after three years on the market. It has grabbed the limelight like no other Leica compact. Not only that, it has been acclaimed even by those who traditionally criticise any product bearing the red dot as overpriced, overhyped and over here.
