My traveling light bag is a tan colored Billingham Hadley Pro.

My light and fast setup is my M4-P with a Summicron 28 ASPH, Sekonic L-508 meter, a few camera doodads and six rolls of Tri-X.

Andy,

Those are some serious woes. I hate to hear about your misfortune. In my opinion, your note to Leica is very reasonable considering the extent of your problems. I wish you the best in getting the problems sorted out.

Andy,

What a string of bad luck…my sympathies, as I can only imagine how frustrated you have been. I had the cracked sensor and replacement of the top OLED. Also had one lens arrive DOA. Leica repaired everything promptly and without charge…not even for shipping. I found Leica service to be excellent, albeit a bit slower than I would…[Read more]

I forgot to mention that these problems were not noticable at time of purchase and developed within days of use … apart from the Multigrip attachment which was only noticed after I received it through the post

I will list the occurrences.

Andy,

We have a pretty large sample size as S Professional dealers. Here's our experience with each of your issues across a lot of S2s.

1 cracked Sensor filter

Yes, we've seen cracked sensors before. The…[Read more]

Andrew, I think the words you have used in your letter are the right ones. It seems you had really bad luck with your camera. I had two issues with my body as well and found the people from Leica very dedicated to help me. I hope Leica will react to you and your issues accordingly and this means, beside giving you a working system, to communicate…[Read more]

Thanks. Re the wire: I thought about it but CS5s…[Read more]

wonderful photo, please tell where the church is located

Thanks for the feedback.

Well done your picture looks absolutely gorgeous … fantastic ! I can't wait for my wide angle lens to arrive … I am going for the 35 mm .

Great shots Mark! I'm impressed that you were able to get so close to get such good results using the 50mm.

I will be at the Cavallino Classic all day on Saturday, 10am-3:30pm. I will also be at the Supercar Show in West Palm Beach on Sunday. See you at the Breakers!

Nice shot Josh… I like it a lot. Come to the Ferrari show at the Breakers in Palm Beach this weekend. I think Roger and I may be there on Saturday afternoon.

Thank you -that sounds promising.
I have ordered one yesterday and this encourages me that it was the right decision.
I use AF a lot but sometimes correct manually, and insome scenery MF works better. It works well with the standard screen but I assume even better with the microprism.

Nice. Seeing as how I only got to use the 30mm off a small balcony in NYC, your image really makes me want to go out for a “real” test. Hopefully, Leica will ramp up production soon.

Is it brighter than the standard screen?
Thanks a lot, Tom

The matte area of the screen is the same as the standard screen, but I'd guess that the microprism circle is about a…[Read more]

I can't remember the difference in terms of brightness but I do know that I will never ever use the standard screen again. Manual focus is pretty easy.

Thanks a lot, Tom
