Will the newest version also fade over time? I'm not certain if that is nature of these types of panels or if it was because of a component from a particular supplier, but I thought that I'd see what you've heard.

Kurt,

From what I've heard, this new component shouldn't fade like the original…[Read more]

Is there a list of serial numbers that qualify for the replacement?

Mine is a 2010 model with serial number 3800XXX that is now almost impossible to read in daylight (not sunlight, rather daylight!)

Cheers

All S2s with the original OLED component are eligible for free replacement.

To give everyone a better idea of what to look for…this image (taken outdoors in open shade) shows 3 different S2 bodies with 3 different OLED screens. The bottom S2's screen is from an early batch of S2 bodies, and exhibits heavy fading to the point where it can barely be seen. The middle S2's OLED screen was replaced by Leica before the newest…[Read more]

Mine also same with this problem, just bought it on July 2011.

Jeez Mark…thanks for sharing 🙂

finished ! summicron sell it to !!!

My S2 went off to Allendale NJ Thursday afternoon, UPS Next Day Air, due to arrive before 3pm eastern time Friday. I paid for that leg of the journey. Perhaps Leica USA will get it off to Germany later Friday… they pay for that part of the trip, and the return to me later by Overnight shipment.

I spoke with Carmen, very helpful, clearly…[Read more]

Hey Al, It will be great to see you again. I plan on going to Photo Plus and Leica's S studio event.

Josh, David, and Jack,

Thank you for the sRGB advice. I have been exporting in sRGB color space and only recently noticed an issue. Perhaps my export preset got inadvertently changed. I will check.

Jack, your photos posted in this thread have good pop to them. Also, my ugly mug is proof that someone my age and stature should not be in…[Read more]

I like this shot a lot, but have no idea where you took it. :confused: Can you give me a hint?

Mark and Al, looking forward to seeing you both in NYC. 😀

Mark,
Just for our learning, would you reexport one of your images from LR with sRGB selected so we can see the difference please.

Meanwhile here are a few shots of you.

The one of you in the falls is my favorite. You were wearing the right color for the shot. I captured your right arm in movement.

For others viewing…[Read more]

Mark and David,
I will be in NYC (with my wife) the 26th to the 30th. I will be attending Photo Plus on the 27th – wife gave me a day to do what I wanted to do 😮

See you guys there!

I've had mine replaced … and the difference is dramatic.

Mark,

Assuming you create your images by exporting a file in LR there is a drop down menu for Color Space in the File Settings portion of the dialogue box that pops up when you go to export. As Josh noted, this should be set to sRGB. Let us know if that does the trick.
