Sorry to jump into this thread with another question , because I am also deciding wether to get the 120 or 180 but can't make up my mind in regards of which one would be wise to get the CS versions or not . My guts tell me to get the CS versions, but then again it's another waiting time and also I don't think Leica is holding on to their original…[Read more]

Nice review Irakly. I think it is also quite clear that by now, a camera is much more than the sum of its megapixels! For example, I don't expect to throw away the S2 in favor of the new 41mp Nokia camera phone (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2107496/Nokia-releasing-phone-41-megapixel-camera–sale-Europe-now.html).

I think the real…[Read more]

Marc, you were supposed to be sick in bed! 😀
Thanks for posting the link and get well!

Thanks for the link. Very interesting test. The S2 performed very well under a wide range of conditions. Not sure what was up with the color bleed on the the Aptus, though.

One comment… Irakly was having an issue with how to record DNG to CF card and JPG to SD card simultaneously. This is of course…

Great link and evaluation …thanks for sharing .

An interesting article, thanks! In regard to his problem with the purple, perhaps it's coincidence that with a light high and contre-jour, the purple appeared in the lower portion, whereas when he had strong light to the left, purple appeared on the right…

Kurt, again some really nice pictures.

I'm already looking forward when at some point in your life you have to decide which one are the strongest you would like to put together in a book.

The firmware upgrade has improved the focus of the 30mm to the point where it is very accurate in most, but not all, circumstances.

The inclusive nature of the lens means that the AF point covers a relatively large area of a subject and seems to have difficulty deciding which bit to focus on. This is particularly apparent when photographing…[Read more]

Marc, thank you for posting the link to Irakly's review. It's a solid review. I learned some technical attributes/descriptions about the S2 image quality that I have loved during my two years with S2 but didn't know how to describe in technical terms. It's too bad the Aptus back was acting up (I hope that was the case).

I have always…[Read more]

I had the same problem with my S2 (two lines – one magenta, one green). Was diagnosed as dead pixels; sensor was replaced under warranty; repair took about 10 days incl. shipping. Good to see there is a software solution to fix the affected files but sensor replacement under warranty is the permanent solution.

Gorgeous, Pete. Lovely detail.

Nice job, Jack! Look at those grey skies … they are so appropriate for the time of year. I'm very glad it's been a manageable winter for the upper midwest this year … it figures that it'd be an easy winter the year that I'm away.

You are becoming the master of triptychs. I really like how they force the viewer to consider the sum as well…[Read more]

You never cease to amaze me with your triptych vision. I like it.

Beautiful image Pete. I would say the trek was worth it.

Well done Jack. Love the muted winter tonality. And the tree in the left panel works well as a standalone image too.

This is simply beautiful… well done!!

Nice. Really like the composition.

it is a mannequin and the car is parked outside a restaurant permanently

Of course, if there were an adaptor to mount S2 lenses on the D800 ;););)
