Is this still available if so can i know the price of it?

Can i know how much is the pay pal fee? As im willing to buy if its less than $50

Rob, a CCD and a CMOS version may very well be a good idea. I've read somewhere that around the announcement of the S system Leica talked about bringing different S models. A high ISO CMOS reportage S camera should be interesting for documentary work, perhaps with a pancake 45 mm that Rolo was suggesting?

OK, I realize this is not from the roof, it is from behind the bench and the temp is a cool 22 degrees, but fortunately little wind down on the field.
The bench is heated, and the capes they wear on the bench are very warm.
Frankly, I over dressed for this assignment. I was too warm at times, as moving around keeps you pretty warm.

On the subject of sensors this looks interesting.. http://www.cinema5d.com/news/?p=13673

It's only a matter of time before we see 20stops

Perhaps CMOS would be a wise decision for Leica because on the MF forums there seems to be a high demand for better high ISO and live-view, so this could bring in new customers for the S. If Leica manages to keep the price of entry…

Hi David,

We have tried that too. But unfortunately, using the EVF equals to using LV and there is time delay between pressing the shutter and the shutter react. Not practical for fashion or baby photography!

One other reason for cmos would of course be high ISO improvements … with such a sensor there would probably…[Read more]

David,a CMOSIS sensor is what I think will be in the next S,it needs to be 16bit and at least 60mp…[Read more]

Very nice shots and a great way to View Washington..

I have a set of photos made with R lenses here:

Very nice, seems like a fun project. I used the S2/120 in Burma on a hot air balloon ride and was quite happy with the results. Thanks again for sharing.

Bobby,

You raise good points about plug placement. Another option for shooting would be to use the EVF, which is how I'd probably shoot the M240 in a studio environment. With the EVF you can use it in waist-level orientation and see the exact framing and effect of lighting.

Hi guys,

Just get my M 240 MF handgrip. I plugged it with a USB cord I use normally for my card reader and start up the LR 5 with my two generation behind MacBook Pro. The tethering just work fine. The software recognised the M240 without any delay.

So it sounds perfect! No! Why?

Because the way you plug in the USB cable (on…[Read more]
