    David,
    Are you running it in 64bit mode? Does seem odd that a simple process should take so long. Good excuse for a cool beer or a mojito I guess. 😎

    Hey one and all. I'm new to the forum but have been a leica for the past year and a lover of film photography for over a decade now, though I've had a beginning love affair with digital in between.

    My one and only Leica is a black M6 🙂 with a Elmar-M 50mm f/2.8. I love shooting in color and black and white but am planning on getting into…[Read more]

    Hey Al,

    You did a good job of procrastinating on getting an iPad till now. However, now that the “new iPad” is out and you can see the benefit with the EyeFi card, resistance is futile.

    Al Tanabe replied to the topic EYE-FI PRO card in the forum S2 14 years, 4 months ago

    This really intrigued me, enough to take the plunge and purchase the Eye-Fi Pro card and give it a try myself. I put it through the test with my S2, M9, X1 and Canon S95 all tethered to my iPhone4. In all cases it succeeded in transferring JPEG files to the iPhone4. I tried a long range test just to see what would happen to the download and…[Read more]

    Just to follow up. I reinstalled twice and its the same problem.
    Then I put in the old focusing screen and it turns out that it shows the same behaviour (just more difficult to realized because there is no split line)

    I ordered the Kata from Amazon as the prices of dealers in Belgium were prohibitive. It arrived yesterday. The S2 w/ 4 lenses fits in easily (one could even add a M9 and a couple of lenses). I particularly like the tripod holder, which seems to hold well the RRS tripod. Even if i will not allways take the whole stuff, the backpack will…[Read more]

    rgk replied to the topic S2 Mishaps in the forum S2 14 years, 4 months ago

    I'm glad for you that you are getting the problem sorted out with Leica. You would probably be best served by purchasing the premium service contract that extends your warranty out another year. Here in the US the premium warranty is much less expensive than the Platinum warranty.

    David K replied to the topic Lightroom 4 in the forum Workflow and Processing 14 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking maybe I should have waited a while before touting LR4. Recently tried to export 200+ S2 DNG's to relatively small jpegs and it takes forever. Much, much slower than LR3. Probably best to wait a while before making the changeover. I would have thought that after the extensive beta testing Adobe would have worked these kinds of bugs out…

    Thank you everyone for your kind advice. I have taken the matter to Solm and they have responded and sent me 2 map files (dsp & nch) which I will install and do a further testing later today.

    Rewi – I am only a causal shooter and therefore did not spend the extra money for the platinum service but I assume if it is from a reputable dealer,…[Read more]

    Stuart Richardson replied to the topic S2 Mishaps in the forum S2 14 years, 4 months ago

    You should talk to Andrea Frankl at Leica Solms, and probably forward all correspondance you have had with the dealer to her (after speaking with her, of course). Leica will take care of you. I deal mostly with them directly, as I am in a country without an experience S line dealer. They are easy and helpful to deal with. Their reputation rides on…[Read more]

    Pete Walentin replied to the topic S2 Mishaps in the forum S2 14 years, 4 months ago

    Norman, I would go to your next real local Leica Dealer and let him handle the stuff with Solms directly. Get rid of Konjinenberg, forget about them. Solms will fix your problem and you start establishing a relationship with a real Leica Dealer where you will buy your next lens. So both parties will benefit. 😉

    Is Remco Konijnenberg an authorized Leica dealer? If he is, there should be no problem. Did you get a warranty card?

    I'm very sorry Norman to hear of your concerns regarding the overseas dealer, I hope that Leica will address your issues directly & concisely! do you have the Platinum service option?

    I too am considering buying a Leica S2P (demo model) from a foreign dealer as this will save me $15,000 NZD :p

    Can I assume that because I'm buying the…[Read more]
