Leica's imaging device provides bright quality even at the edge of the image, something that's often an issue with film lenses used on digital sensor-based cameras. This is one of the few cameras that writes to Adobe's Digital Negative Format (DNG), ...

By Larry L Greenhill (photographyreview.com)Read the full review
For this review, I took my Leica R8/DMR camera on a Popular Photography Mentor Series workshop in Montana and Yellowstone National Park. I took digital images of landscapes, waterfalls, cowboys, bison, and elk. I shot the same scenes with my Canon EOS ...

Leica Digital-Module-R
By Nic Wertenbroek (photographyreview.com)Read the full review
R8 + DMR, 15mm Super Elmar - photography of interiors. Camera is very heavy with this lens, I use a tripod and shoot in RAW format. The flatscreen of my computer does not really show much difference between Nikon and Leica pictures. But when you make a pr...
Good design, can be used without reading the manual, sensor easy to clean. Colors perfect in RAW format. No "digital" feeling at all while working with it.
Heavy, JPG and TIFF give unpredictable results. Have to take your time (no autofocus) Battery runs out fast. High price.

Very well designed and a real pleasure to use. The image quality is, in my opinion, outstanding. The R system with DMR back actual requires one to take a step back and think before pushing one of the three available shutter releases. I believe this is a g...
Ease of operation and design. The avialbility of releasing the shutter from several different hand posiitons. The sensor is a dream to keep clean. All of the DMR menu selections are easy to find and adjust. The hand grip that comes with the DMR is ideal f...
Instuction manual very basic and missing a few detailed explanations. The cost of the DMR made me hesitate before making the decision to buy, but you really do get what you pay for and I do not consider this much of a weakness.

DMR is outdated product by Leica. Only the best Leica lenses rescue this product of being total disaster. Totally unexpected behavior in every step of the way is the nature of this digiback. Leica R9 is a fine body and should be used with film. A new digi...
..hmm...for the DMR it is difficult to give much points in the strength issue. You are lucky if it works without surprises. If you like suprises it is a strength.
DMR is outdated- no guestion about it. Buffer size varies. Batteries do not last long. Shooting fast is always a surprise and varies how much you have space on your memory card - DMR computations are to be tested and mostly produce results with experiment...
