I like it, but do it as a triptych.

Experimental shot to see what shooting in the dark looks like with an ND filter…

They can't even produce enough lenses to meet demand…the last thing they should be devoting resources to is something like a right angle finder, which will only appeal to a very small and specific set of users. I don't mean to offend either of you with that, but it is not an item that many…

It can be to easily snagged and opened, and once adjusted for a tight grip on the RSS camera plates, is not always tight with other QR ARCA type plates, so it has to be…

I haven't enough operating experience to comment on battery life. I wonder if Eye-Fi Tech Support can tell use the power requirements.

It was probably a good idea not to give Josh all the cameras when we visited the BMW get together. Pretty good chance he would have traded our KIA van and a couple of S2's for a sportier ride 🙂

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.

Funny though I was shooting at Maroon Bells in Aspen. The most photographed location in Colorado.…[Read more]

The Markins Quickshoe has a useful safety feature:

That's a spring-loaded pin so that if you have a flat-bottom plate you can still use that shoe. But the Really Right Stuff L brackets and others have hollowed-out areas and the pin acts as a safety stop in case the shoe works a little loose…

The RRS S2 L bracket has a problem…[Read more]

Congrats on the combo. Do you live and shoot in Miami?

Thanks Josh. But being in Germany, paying transport, customs and import tax, it will not make a difference.

A few more images, this time from Day Three:

Leica S2 with 180mm, 1/90 sec at f/8

Leica S2 with 70mm, 3 sec at f/9.5 with Kenko Variable NDX filter

Leica S2 with Schneider Apo-Digital 120mm f/5.6 Tilt Shift lens, 1/180 sec at f/5.6. I wanted to play with this lens' tilt and shift. This was shot wide open with the…[Read more]

Two images from the second day of shooting. Amazing how fast the light changes.

This was my first time using the Kenko Variable NDX filter, which allows precise ND control from…[Read more]

Just a quick shot from Day One. I was determined to have a picture without any leaves for some reason.

Leica S2 with 70mm lens, 1/2 sec at f/8

It functions identical to the Leica adapter that was recently released, other than being less expensive.

Now Josh is famous:

The adapter I used is our Leica S2-Mamiya Mount lens adapter. It works will all Mamiya 645 manual focus lenses. Along with the Schneider, we like to use the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9 as well.

Thanks. This is not the Leica M645 Adapter right?
