Wonderful Leica look

I love all the Leica color science and the lens looks in A mode. Please figure out how to add 48mp support to A mode. Even if it takes longer to process this would be a game changer of a feature.

Wicked photos

It so much fun to take photos with this app, the different lenses/ aperture settings are awesome. A little sad it’s the end of digital photography though . . .
