Love that you love your S2, I love mine too.
Can I ask you, where you got the handstrap? Thank you

I'm looking for experiences where such a thing has happened, and there was some way to recover them.

This was a 32 gig Sandisk card purchased from B&H, so highly unlikely a counterfeit.

Marc. I have the same problem. I bought the S last october and since then every Sandisc Extreme Pro 64 Gb CF has been ok for only about 500 photos (and about 4-5 loadings to my computer). After that the catastrophe exactly as You wrote.

My vendor changes the card free, but I of course lose all the photos in the card.

I have now my sixth…[Read more]

The Leica folks think that the wide angle lenses need to be calibrated to my S2-P body so everything is going to Germany next week, just as Al's did. If it comes back focusing properly, we know it is a defect or a design flaw.

I want to preface my next statement by telling readers that I do use my S2-P on manual focus most of the time. There…[Read more]

The pictures look very beautiful, especially with the T-23 mm. I got mine two weeks while I was in Japan but still no time to enjoy it. I had this T-23 mm. and it should be my carrying around lens.

One question – where did you get the M adapter? I will be in New York the week after next, not sure whether I can buy it from B&H or not?

Do you use a thumb rule for the hyperfocal distance at different apertures? It is on the M lenses but absent from the S lenses.

Bob,

I found a good hyperfocal position with some experimentation. Generally, when shooting landscape on a tripod, I'm almost always shooting at f/11 or…[Read more]

I'd add that when I use wide angle S lenses at infinity, I almost never allow the camera to auto focus focus to infinity. In my mind, doing so effectively discards a large portion of my usable DOF. I usually set the hyperfocal position manually and just shoot everything at this setting. Then, on a 30mm, I can get DOF on everything from 3ft to…[Read more]

Very nice Jack, congrats!

Mike Johnston of TOP TheOnLinePhotographer liked the huge version of “Beside Still Waters” and wanted to offer to his readers a sample of what an S print can be. The print is 36″x24″.

I have had that infinity issue with my 35 when the subject is very far and very tiny detail without a clear object to focus on. I now know to double check the setting and manually readjust. That is a function of SLRs to me. My split screen doesn't really help either in that subject. That is the advantage of a rangefinder when using wide lenses.…[Read more]

Thanks Bob

Thanks Al, I actually had an email exchange with Kelsey, but she said AF on wides can be iffy. I was giving her the benefit of the doubt until I saw your reply. My 35MM just came back from Wetzlar in March after the AF on it died completely – they had it there two months for warranty service. If they didn't pick up on this focusing issue at…[Read more]

Doug,

With you technique you would be fine…overjoyed with the output I am sure.

I used a Leica S-2P with Pentax 300 EDIF F4 lens on an adapter for the following shots….both manual focus on a monopod.

The Heron shot was very low light and was across the lake as they spook very easily here in Texas….the Mallard in better light…[Read more]

The second image is sharper, just compare the yellow road sign above the bridge in both samples. You can also see this difference if you look at the green vegetation on the top of the building on the left.

I've decided to keep the body and wait for the third generation.

Still going strong, now with a new 30MM lens. I shot this for my son, a real estate agent here in D.C.

Thanks.

Nothing special, just started with my standard T preset in LR then made small tweaks.
