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]

So, is there any 32gb SDHC card with a faster than a 20Mb/s transfer rate that the S2 can use?

And to clarify, what's the fastest useable 32gb CF card? UDMA 7 ok?

Thanks.

Well I have some unfortunate news. After speaking with Leica, they indicated that you cannot purchase the new Leica S Protection Plan on an S2-P that is in it's second year of warranty. The terms of the new plan indicate that you need to acquire it within one year of purchasing the new camera, whether it is an S2 or an S2-P.

This means that…[Read more]

Your site is well worth the visit. Great variety of approach. Also like the layout and navigation.

Gary. 🙂

Thanks for your response, Josh. The warranty on my S2-P expires in a few days. Please clarify any options I have for extending it.

Michael:

If you purchase the new Leica S, it automatically comes with the three-year Leica S Protection Plan for Camera Body. You would only purchase this protection plan if you had a Leica S2 or S2-P that was within (but nearing the end of) its original warranty. On a Leica S2, it would extend the warranty by 2 additional years (because the…[Read more]

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 Jack. Nice of you to say.

Kurt, I'd obviously prefer an AF lens, but if Leica could make a 40/50/60mm Summicron with the same size and form factor as the Mamiya 80mm f1.9 with superb focus confirmation, would that not be worth dying for ? 😀

Don't need the whole range duplicating in manual focus, just one for a small pack, big…[Read more]

Gary, stay with it as it takes a little time to fully integrate any new system into your work style. It's certainly not perfect, but the resulting images are hard to resist. I think that you are quite right about needing a small pancake type of lens for street shooting. For a while I gravitated between attaching the Mamiya 80/1.9 and Hasselblad…[Read more]

Any idea why Leica appears not to support this lens on the new M?

I went to your site and was well rewarded with the work you have there.

Glad to see another excellent photographer is using the S tool.

First couple of days with the D-Lux 6. My first Leica, sort of a concession to not getting an SLR due to all the equipment rangling that needs to be done and just wanted a good quality camera. The lense is super fast, night time shots with no flash come out great and the video is nice too. Anyway this is an unprocessed shot straight from the…[Read more]

Great shot, Scott!
