I can only imagine the effort you made to obtain these shots…but I can assure you they are worth it. To my eye these are nothing short of spectacular…as were the images I've seen posted by you elsewhere. I would love to hear what inspired you to visit Ethiopia and how you managed to cultivate a rapport with your subjects.

Wonderful shots. The third and fourth shots are fantastic … there is so much there that delivers on the depth of the human condition.

OMG. I already commented on the pictures you posted at GetDPI but you make me with every new picture completely speechless. These pictures are unbelievable good. You could be really proud about your work.

Sorry to hear that.

I only had an issue with a 120 lens, where the autofocus did not work at all (i.e., the autofocus did not react at all when the shutter was pressed). My dealer contacted Leica which within a couple of days shipped a new lens to me while mine was still on the way back to the dealer. Otherwise no issues (fingers…[Read more]

I only have experience the OLED problem and Leica has replaced mine for free.
While I would rate the Leica service overall very good and helpfull I have to agree that I find the quality control not allways sufficient and something Leica should work on IMO.
Regards and I hope your issued will be solved soon since the S2 is a terricic camera…[Read more]

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.
