I agree with the previous post. Repairing that lens will most likely be costly and complex, it's probably easier to secure another one and sell the damaged lens for spare parts. Does the scratch show up in images that you shoot with the lens?

Thank you very much Stephan. I did a little more post on some of them and they are up on my flickr page.

What filter -if any- did you use? I've been using orange and red to get that type of sky.

Thank you very much Brian.

I did not use any filters. I just did a little bit of post in Lightroom. I think the sky was just a little more dramatic…[Read more]

Hi Mark. That scratch would certainly make your eyes water.
I suggest that you take a look for another lens of the same model in the usual places rather than contemplate repairs which could potentially approach the value of a used lens. In my experience with that particular lens they can be under-appreciated/valued on the used market despite…[Read more]

wow, nice!

yes, last ones are really great!

If you mean an official statement from Leica per the 35-70mm, I don't know if that's something they would do. Most likely, if it's a lens they plan on supporting, a profile for it would be released in a future firmware update. It's quite a rare lens and I imagine they have other items prioritized ahead of that, like shipping the M!

Josh Lehrer;4234 wrote: This lens is supported by the M, but there is not an in-camera lens profile for it. I believe this is because Leica did not have the lens available to test…although the lens in the above images (which belongs to us) has been loaned to Leica Germany by us so hopefully they will be able to make a profile for it.

Thanks for…[Read more]

With the S2, Leica did offer customers the option to purchase the Premium Service Package within the first year of ownership that extended the warranty by one additional year, for a total of two years and cost $1,595. In addition to extending the warranty of the S2 by a year, it also allowed you a one-time, 30% discount on an…[Read more]

Looks like you had a productive trip! Nice stuff.

I agree, this shot is awesome!

A few of use purchased the extended warranty for Leica on the S2 . This was done at the time we purchased the camera in my case January 2011. It was my understanding that the warranty was just one year . So I have assumed my warranty was up in January 2013 .

It was darn expensive around $1700 and for my limited use seemed a…[Read more]

Thank you so much David. I just wished I had a full sized tripod with me!

Great. Many thanks for the clarification!

In the Leica S2, the fastest SD card you can use is a class 10 SDHC card. It is not compatible with anything faster. Per a CF card, it is compatible with a UDMA6 card but not the newer UDMA7 cards. That's one of the advantages that the new Leica S has, full compatibility with the latest 1000x UDMA7 CF cards. I'm getting write speeds 50-60% faster…[Read more]
