Nice to meet you.
When I try to tether the Leica SL2 with Lightroom classic, Lightroom classic crashes.
When I turn on the SL2, it crashes the moment Lightroom recognizes the SL2.
 
Restarting the Mac and SL2 repeatedly does not improve the situation.

The OS is as follows. Leica SL2 Firmware 6.2.0 MacBook Pro 14-inch 2021 Apple M1 Pro Memory 32GB
OS Sequoia 15.1 Lightroom classic Version 14.4 By the way, I was able to shoot tethered without any problems with Lightroom classic 13. If you know of any solutions, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

This issue has finally been resolved by updating the Lightroom Classic version to 14.5.1.

Thank you very much!

It is really crazy that nobody from Adobe is responding to this.

 

Its still the same - nothing changed. And to problem remains for months already!

I'm the original poster. I updated to LRC14.5 today, but it's still crashing as before.
Is there a plan to fix this bug?
I'm having trouble using my Leica for work.

The operating system is as follows:
Leica SL2 Firmware 6.2.0
MacBook Pro 14-inch 2021 Apple M1 Pro 32GB Memory
OS Sequoia 15.1
Lightroom Classic Version 14.5

Any News on this one? Worked fine like 2-3 months ago, but now crashing all the time with no bug message showing up. Restart, P-RAM reset, imported the leica tether plug in new - Nothing changed. 

 

I started LRC, opened the tether menu, it recognized the Leica straight away, crashes with the first photo in a second. No matter if SL2, SL2S, SL3, SL3S - tried them ALL.

 

Its really urgent - The software is useless on set for (probably) every Leica photographer. 

 

I also tried to downgrad the Firmware on the Leica SL - nothing changed. So, must be an Adobe Issue?

 

MBP, 14'', M1, OS 15.5 (24F74), LRC 14.4, Camera Raw 17.4 - Anything else?

Do you get an error message? If yes please post is word-by-word.

If you get an crash report please post this report here.

 

In a first step you should  try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:
