    This is correct. The SF 58 won't fire in TTL on the S2, only TTL-HSS.

    Testing with the HC 210 that I bought second hand recently, as a cheaper alternative to the Leica 180mm (on the assumption that I would not be using this focal length all that often). Fast and accurate focusing, no problems whatsoever. Also makes the loud clicking sound that Marc describes, when used in the leaf shutter mode – but it works fine.…[Read more]

    Has anyone tried Litepanel's Incas or Solas (or any LED equivalent fresnels)? I've been wondering about the power output. We're about to make an investment in lighting and are figuring that LED is the way to go if the technology is there yet.

    I don't get the argument about used lenses. When Leica sold the first S-lenses to the customers, they made a clear statement that they will upgrade those lenses for the price difference (mostely 1000 Euro) later once the CS-option is available (and they were talking about…[Read more]
