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…

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.

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…

Thanks for your post. Good to know. Leica CH says the new grip won't work on the S2, but can't (or won't) explain why. Fact is the new one is 730 CHF and the old one 1250 CHF. I will bring my S2 to the shop and will try here in Zurich. Nothing else to…

The “old trick” is to use black paint to fill in the scratch. This prevents the scratch from producing a reflection and flare, which is the primary source of image corruption. After filling it in, I doubt you will see any difference in performance.
