I already passed into the new year and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

I hope our S2 community is continuing to grow in the new year and I wish to thank David and Josh for their “work” and making this forum possible.

Cheers,
Pete

Thanks Pete!

Here's a shot from New Year's Eve last evening in Manila … and New Year's Day this morning as 2012 rises from the fiery and smokey remnants of 2011.

Cheers!

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year as well and may creativity, joy, and peace lead you to whichever journey you choose.

Your daughter is a cutie. She has such determination in her eyes in the first photo and pride shows in the last photo. Thank you for posting.

Pete,

Congratulations on your early arrival into the new year. I second your sentiments in wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

2 quick ones -the display of my laptop is bad-so no idea they are processed fine.

Horses for courses, I have the S2, M9 and X1 currently and use them as the situation dictates. The S2 is the go to camera for studio and portrait work, M9 for fast and light travel and most recently, the X1 has filled in for the M9. Af is slower on the X1 but put it in manual and shoot away. I think the AF on the X1 is just as fast as focusing…[Read more]

However, I would probably consider a 13″ Macbook Air (very small) for on the road image review and new loaded desktop with large display for image processing and editing. I see value in your thinking to get a fast laptop with 100% RGB display so you can process images while on the…

I am looking to pick up an M6 in great condition but am completely new to the Leica / rangefinder world. Looking to get some longevity out of this investment, basically I want to be able to pick a camera up in 40 years and still have it work just as the day I got it (with proper care…

Hi Stuart,

Thank you very much for the detailed reply and for the link to the video which was very helpful, informational and very current. Seems like this is not a unique issue to the S2 and is possible on all electronic cameras/scanners. I will contact my dealer when I return to Tokyo and work out how to best handle this situation…[Read more]

Just as a counter, I have noticed rather real differences between the S2 lenses on a good tripod with the mirror pre-released and with it not pre-released. If you are using a tripod anyway, it is best practice to use the mirror pre-release. I have noticed it most on the 120mm lens at slow speeds (1s to 1/30th etc), but in general I would say…[Read more]

Hi Arif,
Unluckily, I have had this before on 2 DMR's, the M9 and on Imacon and Hasselblad scanners. This is a function of CCD's and how they work. As crazy as it sounds, what is most likely happening here is that a random cosmic ray has struck one of the CCD pixel components and shorted it out. This causes a chain reaction down the pixel array…[Read more]

Lens is sold.

It's on the way. Already have the strap in place and it's great. Many thanks!

Me – yes. Legacy behaviour from Nikon but I find it most convenient.

Ed, Andy, Geoff, and Mark,

Thank you very much for the replies. Looking through more files, it seems to be in the same spot, is on the DNG, and is only on some files so seems like a sensor/electronics issue and not a cracked sensor issue. I recently had the electronics replaced due to minor issues (stuck menus) but that is not what caused…[Read more]
