@:Kurt Kamba : Thank you !

Actually, I think October is the 3rd or 4th date they have given for CS availability. Generally i do not need CS lenses, but I would like to have one – either the 70 or 120 CS.

Maybe they will start selling the HC adapter with little red Leica stickers so people can put a sticker over the Hasselblad logo 🙂

I'll be sure to ask them about the quality control around announcements, not just the gear. (they did say October 2012 for the CS lenses, didn't they?)

Remind me again how long it has been since they first promised these!

I think that it's astounding that we are seeing the announcement of a replacement S camera before the first…[Read more]

Thanks for posting your photos. Excellent images …. they provide an interesting view of everyday life.

Unfortunately the CS lenses have not yet started to ship from Leica yet. They will have a number of pre-production examples at Photo Plus Expo in New York City next week, and I will be sure to ask them what the status of production is.

Josh,
Here is one not shot from a window, I walked outside in the rain. The day before this bird bath was empty. Nice that the S2 can handle the rain so well. Our drought is over for a day.
I learned on the New England S2 trip last year that autumn colors work well in rain.

The second shot is sort of an abstract that I may play with a…[Read more]

The screen is now sold, thank you!

Beautiful. I miss that color!

I've been curious to see examples of the 100/2.2 HC on the S2 (hint-hint-hint!) I don't have an H system, so buying the HC adapter + 100/2.2 is an expensive experiment.

The Hasselblad 110/2 really is something wonderful on its intended 6×6 negative. I liked it on my Phase One systems, but on the S2 with its smaller sensor, some of the magic…[Read more]

In addition, I have a full compliment of H/C lenses I use on an H4D/60, and also use on the S2 with the H to S Adapter: HCD/28, HC/50-II, 80,…

I actually have the Leica S / HC Adapter with the Hasselblad 100/2.2 and I like the focal length as well as the rendering …… at 5,6. Wider open this lens is a bit to soft for my taste, especially at the borders.

Leica S / V Adapter with the Hasselblad 110/2

I tried this combo but was a bit disapointed because of the CAs wide open. I…[Read more]

You could try some non-Leica lenses, such as:

Leica S / HC Adapter with the Hasselblad 100/2.2
Leica S / V Adapter with the Hasselblad 110/2
Leica S / 645M Adapter with the Mamiya 110/2.8
Leica S / 645M Adapter with the Mamiya 80/1.9

With regards to the Elpro, to me that seems like a tool to make the 180S a semi macro lens. The…[Read more]

yes, I have it, and it works for portraits but I think its a bit to contrasty. I will try the Elpro for the 180, but the longer lenses have some drawbacks as well, especially in natural light

I really like the first one. I can't resist photographing brightly colored vines on tree trunks. Not sure why.

Well done. Please show some more images from your trip.

But I was also a bit disapointed about the lenses that were annonunced. I'm not a wide-angle guy, even if I may one day add the 24 mm.

But I expected something like…

Nice.

There is but it hasn't been cracked yet.
