Thanks Kurt.

Re the 30mm: I love it!

Think about the 35mm, add some minor weight, size and distortion and you have it. But you could ignore the last point as you have your lens profile in LR.

For me it is the Wide-angle focal length to go. I do need…[Read more]

Gorgeous, Pete. What do you think of the 30mm?

Well, I much preferred the game result of the Viking game.
But i once again brought my M9 with WATE and took this sunset Lambeau Field shot set at 16mm.
If you enlarge the photo you will see Aaron Rodgers making one of his signature runs. He had more running yardage than any of the Packers.

This one photo completes my…[Read more]

I got mine at random. Although on order for several months, I happened to walk into a Leica store in Zuerich and they had received one from Solms that morning. Needless to say, its residence time “in stock” was very low.

I ordered mine and still waiting ! This waiting game is rather irritating …. went to see my dealer the other day and met the Leica Rep Uk … talking about how thinks are going and how I like it … and why I don't shoot more stuff with my S2 ? My reply was, I'd love to but since I don't even have a complete system (lenses unavailable ) how can…[Read more]

Hi Kurt,
Great pictures and it is wonderful to see your interaction with the locals. I have always found that people who have nothing have the biggest hearts and the biggest smiles and being around them can lead to beautiful memories. I also love the fact that some of these places and the warm hospitality of the locals allows one to really…[Read more]

my dealer shipped me mine in December

I bought one – in USA in december 🙂

Thanks for the update, David. I'll be watching my calendar also.

I am marking my calendar 🙂

We were told that the microprism screen would start shipping in January. It's January and I see that some of our European members have already received screens. The usual pattern is that the US is 3 weeks behind Europe in terms of new product deliveries. So, I'd expect to see pretty good quantities in 1-2 weeks.

I think a bunch of us are in the same boat. Really do not understand why something as simple as this should be taking as long as it has…

Thanks for taking the time to comment Pete, David, David and Jack.

The Philippines is a wonderful place to photograph. Beyond the wonderful climate and scenery (which I haven't had time to yet explore) the people are extraordinary. They are open, friendly and make the best of everything that is thrown at them … good or bad. In my short…[Read more]

The first shows the Leica bokah but all are quite nice. Time for a self portrait in the new landscape.
I think Kipper is correct on your B&W process question.
I'm off to a football game this weekend, too bad you are too far away for me to borrow your 180 again.

Very nice images Kurt…am I wrong in thinking you've changed your B&W conversion a bit? Either way, I like them. I've been remiss in not wishing you the very best of luck in your new endeavor and location. Hope this is a happy and productive new year for you.

The Leica 400mm f/4 Modular APO has been converted to S2 mount:

however, does anyone know why there is a extra smaller tab on it compared to the other screens..probably a simple answer but I can't figure it out right now.

I'd like to know that as well … Btw the microprism screen is fantastic for macro

Eric,

Nice to see you here…loved your 3800 thread and the recent Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park images.

I have also replaced my other S2 with a microprism screen..no problems doing this..

Great stuff Kurt!
