Jimmy:

I've moved your post to a new thread within the S forum so that more users will see it.

There are some key differences between the S-120mm and 180mm lenses. The 120mm is an f/2.5 lens and the 180mm is f/3.5. The 120mm is also a macro that focuses down to about 20 inches.

The 180mm is great for landscape, wildlife, and any…[Read more]

Beautiful pictures with a great perspective. I look forward to seeing more from your project.

Thank you very much. I was shooting with my Leica 50mm F/0.95 Noctilux on my M9 in all of the pictures above.

John, we have not heard any official statement yet from Leica but I know they are aware of the problem. When we do hear news of a firmware update I will definitely post it on the main page here!

Beautiful shots. Which lenses were you using?

Georg,
for some reason I cant open the attachment but I really would like to see the image. Tom

I was very tempted by this lens because it covers a large range of what I shoot, in particular when traveling, and thus should reduce the need to change lenses. Last week, I received an offer that I could not refuse (demo lens from Leica that my dealer received), and yesterday and today I took the lens for a first test drive. Light was not great…[Read more]

until now I have been using the great Hasselblad 55-110 with adaptor

how is the Leica compared to the Hasselblad?

I have given up 😡

I just will have my 120 upgraded, but my two other lenses will stay as they are ……

Kind of like food stamps for rich people… 🙂

Interesting, they must have changed the wording, mine reads:

The text below was copied from my voucher.

“You can trade up your S lens, with this voucher, at any time up to 30th September 2011, via the authorised Leica S dealer from whom you originally purchased it.

Just went to the S owners area and the link to the vouchers has disappeared. Luckily I kept PDF copies on my computer.

Thanks for posting this Roger. Just to clarify the issue of price.

The current difference in price between the 70mm CS and non-CS is $1k ($5995 vs $4995). But when the non-CS first came out it was priced at $4495. My understanding from speaking with Josh is that the price paid for the lens is the one that is used. In my case that means I…[Read more]

Thanks Josh. Your reply confirms what I was thinking.

For those of us who already have the adapter, the Leica branded option probably doesn't make much sense. I'm a Leicaphile in every way but I can't hand them an extra $2+k just for the brand and the “option” to purchase an additional warranty.

Interesting lens though 🙂

This arrived a few weeks ago,still waiting on a reply about the upgrade program..
