A Pancake lens and I hardly care what focal length it is. I just want something small and light so I can carry the camera everywhere. I don't mind if it's manual focus, it's about portability. The S might have twice the size of sensor compared to an M, but compare a 35mm S to a 35/28mm M lens and it's scale gone mad.

I'd also prefer a fast focusing portrait lens, an f2.0 would be fine. I'm not sure about the focal length though. A 100 mm would perhaps be too close to the 70 mm. A 150 mm would be better for me and I'd like it to be truly a portrait lens in such a way that it becomes legendary for the beautiful way in which it renders skin(-tones) and faces in general.

Thanks! The perspective I have here was only possible from one position, and required nearly the full 200 mm effective zoom. At a wider angle we would have seen (and captured) many bright lamps that light the public park area, which is…[Read more]

Could anybody confirm that they had the same experience using the grip?

I could be interested to get the grip if it really works like this.

macbook pros rock. i would just keep the macbook pro. like seriously, why would u want to buy a new thousand dollar laptop just because your family told you?? since when do you listen to your family anyways?

Yes, I was in a similar position having bought a used M9 from a private party. He had registered it on the Leica Owners Area, and for unknown reasons was reluctant to de-register it, an easy procedure.

So I sent mail to Leica in Solms with a copy of the sales receipt with the serial number and of course name of the seller, and they cleared…[Read more]

I've experimented and found that if I fit the Grip, I can hand hold for 2 stops longer in the portrait mode.

I'm comfortable shooting below 1/100s, even 1/40s with some losses, whereas without the grip I try and stay shorter than 1/249s. Must be down to camera movement and of course this may only apply to me, but I've tested this enough to…[Read more]

Finally got mine as well. Extremely pleased with the lens.

David and Josh, may be you guys can let Leica know my simple (firmware) feature request:
With S lens most times I need to get handheld speed of at least 1/2f instead of 1/f. In aperture priority + auto ISO mode, the S supports setting minimum shutter speed of 1/f or a manual…[Read more]

Great shots Jack. It's a treat to see the stadium and the crowd from those vantage points
