    The S2 is perfectly suited for sailing and water borne photography.

    I have used it without any problems in the Antarctic: I accidentally dropped the camera while on a mountain on the Antarctic peninsula and it landed in a snow bank without any ill effects..

    Crispsting replied to the topic Leica M9-P Sensor cleaning in the forum M9 13 years, 8 months ago

    Hi I went to Leica in Mayfair london and asked about dust on my M9-P sensor. I had only had it a few days and the dust was noticeable. They advised that the camera has a static charge which dissipates over time – about 1000 shots and the dust will be less of a problem. Since being told this I have also seen this referred to elsewhere and I can…[Read more]

    Pete Walentin replied to the topic The best for clean S sensor please in the forum S2 13 years, 8 months ago

    Best is to let Leica do the sensor cleaning or at least a Leica dealer who offers sensor cleaning.

    What I do regulary is to use Giottos Large Super Rocket-Air Blower to clean the sensor, holding the camera front down. This keeps the dust and dirt from getting stuck to the sensor and therefore beomce permanent and only removable by a propper…[Read more]

    John Buckley replied to the topic How will the M Monochrom fit in with the rest of your gear? in the forum M Monochrom 13 years, 9 months ago

    The MM will become a specialty camera, a project camera, but it will be joined in the bag by its M9 cousin (and hopefully by its M10 cousin.) I can't wait to get my Monochrom, but in a given year, I expect it will get less than 50 percent of my attention. Love color too much. JB

    when the MM fullfills what I hope, then it will be a second body for traveling and for nude art photos.

    The M-M will become my main camera, my M9 will supplement it for family, landscape and such. I does mean I can semi-retire my M7, for use with special projects. The M-M does not replace Tri-X, but it sure can make my stock of film last i long time.

    Thanks for your encouragement, I have posted one old picture, from Sep 2010 at the Image to share post. I'm not professional, therefore, i will have only limited time to take pictures during these few years. When you have time in the past, you have no wealth to buy Leica. Now you can buy Leica but you have not enough time to enjoy…[Read more]
