Cant find the SD card slot?Or USB

[splaaash]

Really like this compact Leica 11C I guess they saved on the LED,and the optical finders just fine.

But I cant find the SD card slot???🙁 Or the USB.

Did Leica find a better way to record images???

 

[Wburgess]

Well... I can predict which way this conversation will go...

In 3, 2, 1...

How many megapixels can you get out of a IIC anyway?

Cheers,
Dez

Depends on which sensor you have fitted... :angel:

 

[colyn]

You have to buy the add on pack to get the card reader and USB plugin. This pack will then screw onto the tripod socket which also serves as the electrical connection for these accys..

I'm not sure what the maximum megapixels is you can scan a 35mm neg at but I had an ex-girlfriend with a Nikon 9000 and when we scanned some film the quality was so good you could see individual grains of silver. So there definitely is a limitation with film.

Ha ha thanks for the video link .
To the OP, the USB and SD are in the same place as the M3's HDMI and GPS.

Wasn't there someone on Photo.net converting an M3 to digital?
Edit: I saw that video right after I posted this. I'm always amazed how many people think my M5 is a digital, and, conversely, how many people think my M8 or X100 are film. There's one vendor at my neighborhood farmers market who, every week, says "is that an old Olympus 35? I had one of those back in the war."

Maybe he bought this one: http://youtu.be/UJDtmcWiaVM

I'm surprised that the battery issue hasn't been addressed. Don't you guys know where they go? 😉

 

[splaaash]

🙂My 11c is a 1951 Leica,Its definitely a 24.2 mp.The optical finder is bright and the f1:2 summicron can auto focus very quickly,far more reliably than any contrast or phase detect system found today.

The 11C with 50mm f 3.5 Elmar is smaller than the NEX 6 and today,when it began raining,slipped into by back jeans pocket

They knew how to make cameras for everyday use Try carrying a M9😱😱

Now if only i could find the card slot-----

 

[ChrisLivsey]

The slot is well protected behind the rear plate. In a later, retrograde, step Leica made a series, designed M (mucked it up) where most of the back hinged up just to get at the slot!!!
They also made the M series with a bayonet fitting lens, just like the new Sony, you know the one that lets the light in without going through the lens. A screw fit lens will never do that.

The battery never needs replacing BTW, another technological advance they dropped when they found they could sell new batteries at the price of compact camera.

Also they tried the "upgrade for life" on the M8 series, what a joke, the screw models have always had that and they actually did it not promise it and never deliver.

(Thanks for the chance to rant 😀 )

That made my day!! What resolution is the screen on the M2?

 

[Richard G]

The IIC has a CMOS sensor so I wouldn't touch it. I'll stick with my 1932 II.

Hi,

"The battery never needs replacing BTW, another technological advance they dropped when they found they could sell new batteries at the price of compact camera."

I can just remember the wire frame pyramids they stood them in to recharge the batteries and some people use them to sharpen razor blades. They were dropped because people didn't like the way they turned the black blinds red over time.

Alas, them days is gone...

Regards, David

Should have invested more heavily in that relationship...😛

I remember those too! I first read about them in a book by Charles Berlitz when i was about 8 y.o. I grew out of it by the age of 10....

My understanding is that prior to Barnack the recording medium was a huge 5 and 1/4 inch floppy disk, that really was floppy hence the name, floppy disk. These large disks were why they had to have such large cameras before the 35mm SD format was developed. For some part of the middle of last century there were some people using a continuous ribbon of edge-perforated 'film'. The process was chemical, rather than electronic, and I think this was only used for security recording purposes in Japanese banks.

 

[Brian Atherton]

Biggest bugbear for me is not the battery or sensor issues in the Barnacks.

Try as I might, I can’t find any information about where to put batteries in my Gitzo tripod.

Having to extend and collapse it manually is a real pain in the proverbial. 😡

Anyone know where they should go?
