That could be an expensive trip. Leica's trade-up program for CS lenses will make it more tolerable.

rgk, I don't understand why you are perplexed. I was simply thanking Leica for a job well done. I appreciated their efforts and felt compelled to thank them for their hard work in putting on the studio event. They went out of their way to provide current and prospective customers with a venue where they could use their products in a controlled…[Read more]

Jack, thank you for the kind words. I recognize how important expedient and efficient service is to S2 owners, so I will always do whatever it takes to get the job done.

RGK, Leica relies on its Leica S-Professional dealers for primary S2 support. My experience with Leica S service has been excellent in regard to commitment to the warranty,…[Read more]

Kurt, your info says you are still in WI, I thought asia by now?

Leica cannot compete with Josh. But they are glad he exists.
As am I.

I'm perplexed by this thread. Why are the customers thanking the vendor? In my experience the vendor thanks the customer. S2 customers are a very tiny segment of the camera market and they are to be valued highly.

As far as i am concerned the S2 is, for me, the best camera that I have ever owned and I am pleased that it exists and that I can…[Read more]

David, Mr. Farkas always has the best interests of your wallet at heart. 😉

I have the images from the 30mm just about ready to go up…. but of course today I am a little distracted. Doing a test shoot this afternoon with some CS lenses at the beach. 😎

Don't expect more silver or chrome lenses in the near future. I've direct information that there are plans to cancel in the future the chrome M9P and grey M9 because their production slows the total output of the factory and now there is urge to fullfill the orders.

CS What?

Mr. Farkas is driving me crazy.

Can't wait to see some picutres.

Pete,

This is some pretty interesting technology and I hope it continues in development. I've been
following such developments on many fronts, but this design seems to be the most sophisticated in terms of control.

While it is true that any continuous lighting resource usually pales in comparison to strobes or speed-lights, there conceivably is a…[Read more]

Thanks! 🙂

@Mark: A tripod, stopped down to f/16 or f/22, manual focus and that's it.

I came across the Manfrotto Lino pro vest at Photo Plus last week and it looks pretty interesting. It has a mesh back and is a well thought out design. My only problem is that is only comes in black which looks great, but absorbs too much heat in summer.

Thank you David. This was a long exposure of 45 seconds which helped smooth out the water as well. The clouds were low and reflecting the city lights (e.g, sodium vapor).

Mark,

A beautiful shot! Nice work with the colours. It's interesting how the combination of pollution and overhead cloud can produce those browns in the sky — we see it here occasionally but not often.

Doug you are right the ex officio line changes frequently . I have one vest that is mesh over 80% of the vest ..so over a tee shirt its nothing . The other is like one of their nylon fishing shirts material but looks similar to the Domke . These two look like fishing or travel vests . The advantage is they are light weight nylon fabric where…[Read more]

Although I have never been there, I have seen hundred of photos of this place over the years. This set of photos is excellent in the way you captured the light, colors, and textures. I am particularly fond of 1 and 2.

How did you handle the relatively shallow depth of field of the S2 in these images?
