The S2 doesn't officially support SDXC cards. The new S camera will, so I assume this is something that can be updated via firmware, seeing as how both cameras have the same Maestro processor.

My suggestion would be to hold off using the new 64GB card until it is officially supported via firmware. It might work now, but I would be wary of…[Read more]

David,

Here's a basic question. How do you think the lens hood will function on the new zoom….is it really only functional for use at the 30mm focal length?

Well well ! I've reformat on my mac in ms-dos fat and it's work !!
good !! 😎

Arif, I just use LR and the lens profiles Leica provided for the HC lenses.

In the case of the HC100/2.2 when strong backlighting is present (like it was in the Bride and flower-girls photo) I may have to use a bit more manual purple fringing correction. This shows up more frequently with the S2 than with my H4D/60.

Well 4 months after i asked this questioned, got your replies, and now have sold the 3 R lenses, Leica comes out with the R to M adapter. :(:(:( Nothing lost, i got better and equivalent focal length glass for the M. I could have just kept them for the Canon bodies. 🙁

The Hasselblad H lenses get along with the S2's sensor quite nicely.

The HC50/3.5-II, 100/2.2, and 150/3.2N are a particularly nice set of lenses to use with the Leica … dual shutter capable, good handling size for the S2, and all use the same 77mm filter size.

Hi aside from the information above do you have any idea

A quick follow up…it's been about a year since we had the OLED screen's replaced on our S2-P bodies, and they haven't faded at all. And it looks like it's the same OLED that's going in the new S, which is a good sign.

The top panel OLED has also long since ceased to read, so it's a perfect storm of problems. Here comes its European vacation.

I am using Profoto Air and had never any issue.

I am very sorry to hear that. The only problem I had when shooting tethered was an image which was broken, unreadable. But only one out of two hundred and I had not invested time to find out what the reasons might be.

Congrats.

I'm learning so much again with the Monochrom, very cool. As already written in other forums about the Monochrom, it is interesting how I was used to look for colors and instantly when framing a picture in my mind which is based on colors, a pop-up appears in my brain which reads: Attention: Color only! – So much fun.

Really beautiful. I like the rendering of the lens.

I just received mine as well…pure excitement!

I currently have the S35, 70, 120, 180. I plan on adding the new 120/TS, the Elpro for the 180, and am debating on the S24mm which I have been waiting for in lieu of the S30mm.

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, 100/2.2, 150N, 210.…[Read more]
