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.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the S2's reliability over the past few years, however that doesn't mean that problems never happen. Leica's S service in Germany is absolutely fantastic, courteous, and their turnaround times are very quick. If you send the camera directly to them (without going through Leica USA in NJ) it's usually two weeks…[Read more]

Thanks Pete.

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.

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.

Everything else you have experienced is new to me. Maybe an exorcism in Solms will…

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]

Yes, I use it with a number if HC/HCD lenses.

When used in the leaf-shutter mode, I've noted a strange metallic clicking from the Hasselblad lens. Presumably the leaf shutter since the noise is absent when using the lenses in FP mode … but it is louder than when the lens is used on H camera. I sent for a second adapter and it does the same…[Read more]

The detail in this shot is amazing. Zoomed in, you can really appreciate all the elements in the photo: the vibrant aqua-blue stream, the orange and red patterning in the rock formations, the little green trees – and all so crisp and clear!

I do think, however, some further post-processing could give this shot a little more pop. Perhaps some…[Read more]

I am using with the 30-90 and the 100/2.2 with mixed results. Works well on the 30-90 but there are some misses on the 100 where I have to manually override.

best report on the Leica M so far.
Why did they keep that big red dot on the front of the camera, the M9-P is soo elegant without it?… I regret the absence of the illuminating frame which ix part of the smart design of all Ms so far.
And they did not mind keeping the thickness of previous digital Ms. The MP…

its great! i use 2 habla lenses and it works well!

Pretty simple really. H lenses work the same a S lenses on the S2 or S. The adapter communicates electronically with…[Read more]
