Fortunately, the camera and lens combination are smart enough to know when you are wanting to shoot at the wide-open aperture. For example, if you are at f3.5 with the lens zoomed to 30mm, then zoom to 90mm the aperture goes to f5.6, but when you zoom back to 30mm the aperture goes back to f3.5 just as it should.

Hi
I have just checked and we get the following
30=3.5
45=4.3
60=4.9
75=5.3
90=5.6

this is normal variation pro rata

hope this is…[Read more]

Hi Andy. I had read the Leica info but a) they only say the f-stop at 35, 60 and 90mm, and at 90mm they say f5.0 which seems wrong? because it should be f5.6 at 90mm?

Does the lens extend when one zooms?
And do you mind to tell the widest f-stop at 35,50 and 70mm?
Thanks a lot.

Hi.. I would just like to add that the update also addressed a issue I had reported whereby the top OLED kept defaulting to ‘Medium' when the S2 was off with a multi Battery Grip attached…I like to keep it brightest in daylight as a quick reference before Shoot.

Will Do!

Thanks for the update.

Ddanois we are just as excited as you to get our hands on this lens. I believe they will begin shipping in the USA next week, although I won't make a formal announcement until I have 100% confirmation. Keep an eye on the main page of Red Dot Forum for updates.

Can't wait to get my hands on this lens as well! It will really improve the workflow of on-location shoots.

David/Josh…As these are now in the market, any word on when US customers can expect the 35-90?

Yabusame is thrilling to watch in person and the tension just goes higher and higher as the archer loads, shoots, loads, shoots, and loads again to shoot while riding full speed.

yes.please..please…more ISO 1600 images and thoughts.
with the S2 I found 640 ok, 1250 sometimes usable, often not.
So how much better is the new S???

Very nice image Joe. Congrats on getting the new S. I have seen your work on getDPI with other cameras in the past. You will do well with the S. I look forward to seeing more.

Josh, please keep your thoughts and discoveries about the new S coming – even if it is a bit frustrating that I don't have one (yet).

Josh Lehrer;4043 wrote: Very nice Joe! I am glad you were able to make use of the +0.5 EV technique. While the S puts out a great file from the camera, there is a lot of “potential” in the files that can be brought out with a combination of tone adjustment, sharpening, and noise reduction (for higher ISOs) within Lightroom 4. I have found that the…

Congrats on the new S Joe! Glad to see you continuing the tradition.

Happy New Year!!!
