Welcome Veeracha,

Your perspective is much appreciated on this forum.
And I would enjoy seeing some photos from Thailand when you can post them.

Dear Jack MacD

At least, there's another one from Thailand. I bought S2 since 2010 and still enjoy shooting it. We have a lot of photographers in Thailand but the problem with Leica camera here was the agent. Apparently, there's changes in agent during 2010-2011 and it made Leica fans a little back off, including the shortage of inventory.…[Read more]

Update,

Since actually getting the H to S adapter and using it with H lenses on a number of assignments as well as some personal work … I'm even more happy with the S2 as is.

However, that POV is tainted by being a H4D/60 user with a full compliment of H lenses. I have the 100mm portrait lens some wish for … and it is the fastest…[Read more]

Any chance to join your boat crew? :D. Just kidding. Looks like you had a great day at the beach.

I also like the B&W shot best. What lens was the done with?

Very nice shots . I can see you have been keeping busy in the off season . cool:

Thanks guys…glad you liked them.

Al, it's tough to beat the Leica glass but there are some alternative lenses out there worth shooting with if you're willing to do a bit of extra work and forego the convenience of AF. I've got the Hassy 110/2 and just reacquired the 50/2.8 after testing it out. Kurt already knows this and has been doing…[Read more]

These are from Thailand….that elephant shot (in front of 7-11) was shot on xp-2, everything else was Kodak Pro Image 100….

My experience as well. Singh Ray is a great company and Ray Singh a true gentleman

Great shots!
1. Tell us how you keep from electrocuting yourself with your power source in the surf?
2. My favorite was the B&W shot.
3. As long as I was using sepia with architecture, I had to suggest you try sepia on the great B&W shot. Note: I asked and received permission from David to post this interpretation of his…[Read more]
