This is a reply for Marc from “Re: Advice need from wedding shooter” copied to this thread on camera straps so it can be found by others reading about straps.

Marc,
Thanks for the advice on the hand strap from http://camdapter.com
and pointing me to the correct plate for RRS.
and mentioning fun colors for the leather. I got the red…[Read more]

what i really need is a more intuitive way to select the ISO-setting

and another suggestion (even if probably complicated to implement):

I need a limitiation of the focus-range for the 120 macro. As the lens don't have such a limitiation, it screws all the way through the focal range, which takes much time. So a limitation from 2-5 m for…[Read more]

Sorry, it seems like a lame excuse regarding the finer ISO selections.

The M8 has the same ones as the S2, then the M9 added more, making the M9 much easier to refine metering while adding the least amount of noise possible for each exposure need.

Well, this is common. The longer you charge your batteries the nearer you get to 100%, but rarely reach it. I have 3 batteries for the M9 and they are all the same. Btw from what I heard so far a complete recycling of the batteries is not needed or helpful, and will in contrary reduce batterie life.

I used the 70 Summarit on this series.

sorry–couldn't check EXIF … which lens did you use? Thanks.

David K, did you trade in the Mini and if so what is the new toy?

I did Mark. David and Josh told me that the Mini might be appropriate for transporting my M9 kit but not for the S2. When I asked them what I needed to get they both pointed at their respective BMW's and said… “Duh…”

So I succumbed to…[Read more]

David,
A pleasure meeting you as well, fun ride you have there! Will try again to capture the towers in the morning. Who knows what I get to shoot tomorrow!

Great story Al… and I applaud your improvisation. It was a pleasure meeting you the other day at Dale with Roger, David and Josh. I got distracted taking the Leica rep for a ride in my new car and never did get a chance to say goodbye. And yes… Roger will get you up at ungodly hours of the morning.

You really should try to get that…[Read more]

Al, you are such a gentleman.

Thanks for all the feedback. We took all of the suggestions in this thread and discussed each one with S2 product managers Stephan Schulz and Toni Felsner when we met with them at Photo Plus Expo in NYC. I've posted the result of this discussion here:

Photo Plus Expo 2011: A Discussion with Leica S2 Product Managers Stephan Schulz and Toni Felsner

Thanks very much Jim. I will give that a try next time as well, and see how it goes!

I found a tutorial by Patrick Lavoie on photo.net, and it seems to get rid of the color moire at least, but not the pattern. Still, it is much better and less distracting. You lose some saturation, but it is better than simply…

That is a rather amazing rumor. Afaik the chrome M9P cameras…[Read more]

This lens has been sold, thanks!
