Nice shot. Looks like it did well. How did you like New York? Any more shots from this series?

Lovely photo Edwin!

Based on the only 2 S lenses I have used — 35mm and 120mm, I would almost say that the testing is pointless. The lenses are so incredibly good that they don't really have any weak points other than size. The only middling problem I have had is some issues with ghost reflections in extremely high contrast night photography (of streetlights etc…[Read more]

I guess they are shipping now as I will get my lens tomorrow

I understand the delay, but sounds like it is too long. There were lots of complaints when the M8 came out about closed eyes, etc., and supposedly the delay with the SF24 pre-flash was tightened some in camera firmware. It's still too long.

It sounds like the S2 may have the same issue.

Although this might be deemed heresy and reason for forthwith interdiction, I thought that this might be of some interest here. This morning I placed ( dare I say it??) a Canon 500D Diopter in fromt of the 120 as a quick test. Posted below are crops of the same image shot with the bare 120 and with the 120 / diopter combination at minimum focusing…[Read more]

I find that when using “TTL-HSS” mode with the SF-58 in aperture priority or manual exposure there is a capture delay that more often than not results in my having missed the image given that I often shoot uncooperative moving targets. I assume that I am doing something wrong, but I do not know what. Any suggestions would be…

I am wondering what the lag from the pre-flash is in “TTL” with the S2 and the SF58 or SF24?

My only baseline is using the SF24 on the M8…the lag is enough that I can't use TTL for quickly moving subjects. Thanks for any info.

Thanks for the link. It appears that are not shipping in the US yet.

They do. Even this Thread is German you may can read the pictures.

Down hea in rural Georgia (US), if I had woke up to those strange deer and the big spotted kitty, I'd know that Bubba (neighbor) had cut his shine with too much antifreeze or the S2 needed a firmware upgrade.

Happy New Year to all of you. Currently from Sabi Sand in South Africa. Below a few shots from a 5.30 am game drive on New Years morning. Quick processing on a laptop.
