    Josh Lehrer replied to the topic SF58 and S2 in the forum S2 14 years, 8 months ago

    I have been playing with this combination a bit today to see what's what. I tried every combination I could, camera on first, flash on first, camera on then attach flash while off, camera on then attach flash while on. I have yet to find a combination where the flash will not allow me to select TTL-HSS while attached to the camera. If I take the…[Read more]

    I saw this same thing last weekend

    It is something really stupid about switching on the camera or the SF58 first … can't remember which but it is in one of the manuals (in a none obvious place)

    Good luck and will check when I get home this evening

    David,

    I thought that I'd follow-up and see if you've heard any more about the possibility of this becoming a reality. Although I've been using a flash for more lower light situations, an extra stop or two would open quite a few more creative shooting options without the flash.

    I think its worse than an allocation of resources…because Leica will probably not make the accessories . They sure don t make the screen .

    Thanks for all the insights and testing. I ended up with a Gitzo 3541L and i think thats the right size for the S2 . The RRS BH55 and the lever release and the RRS L bracket. Nothing original. Could not get the RRS 34 L in time for my trip.
