OK Pete, here are the tripod shots at f11 or more.
Most full frame, unless I needed to slightly straighten. One is shown both before crop and after.
Leveling remains a challenge even with bubble levels. The S would help right?

The very edge of the corners seems ever so slightly a bit soft when pixel peeping. So it would be visible in 6…[Read more]

My personal choice is the Dell and the main reason is that it has a much bigger hard drive.

Thanks for posting these Jack.

I would love to see some made with a tripod.

Cheers,

Very nice ! The S lenses really do seem to be at a level of perfection I never seen in any system .

One more just for Josh who apparently likes car photos. 96% full frame, f6.8

Hi guys, any further experience with the 30mm?
Does it do the job for you? Are you satisfied?
Any comparisons with the 30-90 zoom?

It's possible, because your settings should not be reset that quickly!

I can also confirm that the new S hand grip works just fine on the S2. I tested it here at the store, the grip reads the extra battery just fine.

Thanks Josh

The camera just came from Germany but I will dig a little deeper to see if there's
a power saving feature enabled in the menu that might be prompting the camera
to go into an early sleep mode.
What I have sorted out, though, is that the resetting occurs much more quickly
when I am shooting straight down (on tripod) as…[Read more]

It's a clever idea but I agree with the posters above, the eyepiece cap stays in the box. I believe the part costs somewhere around $50 to replace from Leica. I haven't found a scenario where I need it.

Mark:

The S2 should not reset ANYTHING unless you turn the camera off (or it goes to sleep) or pull the battery out. If the camera is changing your settings while it is still on, then something is not right with the camera. The “drive mode” and mirror lockup settings are both reset to default (they are not sticky) when the camera is turned…[Read more]

thanks for sharing these images. They look fantastic, and I personally like seeing the S being used for reportage/documentary.
I love the look of the 120 mm wide open and I think this approach gives the series a very distinctive look. Very interesting! I must say I find it very brave to use the lens like this, I…

Amazing images Pete! Very nice work.

I chose not to use it. It came out briefly when unboxing the camera, then after a moment of admiration for detail, it went right back into the box. Safe there.

Yes, I know. It's ok when not sitting on the ocular. But when it sits there, it just falls off too easily. I think it it a great idea, just too weak magnet and hence a bit…[Read more]

Anybody found a smart way of attaching it to the camera so that it does not disappear? Yes, there is a solution called “pocket”, I know, but the problem…
