They messed up again, TS was a good seller for new files and was diluted with the IS subscription.

But pp is still ongoing right?

3 months waiting...i wrote to them and i had a reply....something like:

"blablbala we have many requests...."

Leica was great cameras (not so sure that is was so great without good lenses���).
Today Leica is just a status symbol.
Technically I think that a  Lumix PANASONIC GM5 is better (and costs 20 times less) 

sorry you're waaaaay wrong 

i owned for 5 years a complete Leica M system (leica M6, Leica M9, summicron 35, summicron 90, elmarit 21mm), so i'm talking with some experience...Versability is the reason that led me to sold everything for a nikon system....not quality, AT ALL

Now i must REMEMBER two things:

- First: Leica M is made for and is limited to reportage and travel picture...don't have AF, no video, no timelapse,no zoom, no filter mount (no landscape photography)...but yes it's an outstanding camera for those works, and there is nothing to discuss about it.

-Second: About the price...Leica is NOT more expensive than all TOP DSLR camera from Canon and Nikon
Here Market prices:
Leica M: 6000� (warranty 5 years)
Nikon D4 (with 4 years warranty) 5400�
Canon EOS 1dx 5450�
Canon EOS 1dc 12000�
I don't see big differences, you?....lens price? same just take a look to price list and compare prime Nikon/canon zooms vs Leica....


If nowdays is possible to live only on travel/wedding and news reportages, Leica still is THE camera....personally i can't, but this has nothing to deal with Leica quality

ps. Yes Leica makes many "snobby" cameras for collection...like the one in your link...btw their business lies also much on fat chinese/russian full of money

let me know them... and i will change opinion about microstock

thanks guys  i will upload my complete portfolio and see what happen...with 1000 images i hope to get at least one payout/month

I keep uploading there....but i really don't know if i'm loosing time or not as my portfolio there is small and i don't have the idea of the sales trend

What are you guys doing? keeep uploading? Any answer is appreciated!

i don't know youre selling volume...for me everything is good....maybe more downloads more mess
i'm around 5-7download/day and my numbers are correct in mobile

to me look that they are getting back to accept almost everything..i uploaded 40 img and only few were rejected (i thought more coz' were not perfect images)

incredible...!

I cant understand the purpose...is just a collection of images redirected from ss or something else?

super slow august start 

It's a lot easier to blow out the background than it is to fix it in Photoshop.

For studio shots I use four lights: two on the subject (key at F/8, fill at F/5.6) and two more to light the white background (F/11.5).

yep if are small object you can add a light from beneath the subject with translucient base to avoid all shadows (if you don't want shadows, someone prefer some shadow)
