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!

While I cannot be exactly sure why you had this particular problem, I can say from experience that the S2, and most of the cameras I have owned in fact, are very reliable…but there will always be variability. The S2 is a hand built camera, and while Leica's QC is good, they are not perfect. What matters now is how Leica Service…[Read more]

Hi Josh.. yes the batteries were physically stuck inside both the Body and the Grip but at different times.. returned to Solms under warranty.. it was a sudden occurrence both times with a battery change no problem for a few times then just no release with the button in the grip and the switch on the body. I have the Body with Solms just now and…[Read more]

Andy:

Sorry to hear that you are having issues. Are you saying that the S2 battery was physically stuck inside both the camera and the grip? That is something I have never seen. What I have seen is batteries that do not lock very well inside the camera, but this appears to be the opposite problem. How did you end up removing the stuck…[Read more]

I use one on each different camera I have. They come in basic black leather as shown on my S2 above, or a choice of some fun finishes (I use a Python Grey one on my Hasselblad H camera, which is also grey :-).

The base I use is the Arca Neoprene Adapter ……

Great, thanks!

The WATE indoors is best on a tripod for two reasons, to insure being level and to allow for low light options unless using strobes etc.

I have shot hand held in well lit rooms, but even a small tripod is a huge plus.
This bar shot was half a second in the very low light so the outdoors would not overpower the indoors and require artificial…[Read more]

yes, they could

Have heard anecdotes about Aaron being a very good kid at heart. Does lots of charity and Community service. My work has brought me into contact with pro athletes of all the major sports.

Little use for NBA players, very selfish and poorly mannered. Baseball not far behind in many cases. NFL guys are very intense but…[Read more]

I'm glad Green Bay and Phoenix football has been good to you. I hope your admiration of Aaron helps you get a WATE. I will relay your thanks to him. You really should drop the love of the Bears, as you seem like such a nice intelligent photographer.

Admittedly this photo of Aaron and Clay was not taken with the WATE but I can report that the…[Read more]

Your first image of the suite is one of the most compelling demonstrations of the Mandelbrot equation that I could imagine. Literally nothing more be said…

I usually shoot this kind of stuff with my S2, but wanted the camera to fit in my pocket.
Thought about bringing my WATE for the shot.

I have been using the 28mm on…
