Hi Peter,

Leica S CS in Solm told me it would work. Cheers.

Thanks for your post. Good to know. Leica CH says the new grip won't work on the S2, but can't (or won't) explain why. Fact is the new one is 730 CHF and the old one 1250 CHF. I will bring my S2 to the shop and will try here in Zurich. Nothing else to…

Hi Peter

What new grip? I can confirm that my old one works well on the S … So logic says that the opposite should be true.

Where are you in Switzerland? If close to Basel, you are welcome to try my old grip.

I agree,It's a gem…

Peter,probably cityscape's and some landscape,But also interior's,architecture and even environmental portraits.. I would probably use the s30mm first for landscape as the s24 can push things too…[Read more]

The “old trick” is to use black paint to fill in the scratch. This prevents the scratch from producing a reflection and flare, which is the primary source of image corruption. After filling it in, I doubt you will see any difference in performance.

Preliminary testing indicates that the scratch does not show up on photos, which is pretty incredible. But, every time I use this lens, which is frequent, and look at that scratch, I will feel sick. I am going to start searching online for a replacement. Several people have already expressed interest in buying this lens, though no price has been…

I don't know the direct answer to your question but have you tried using the “Eye-Fi” Pro X2 SDHC card? I'm putting the 16Gb through some tests currently and so far it seems to live up to specs:-

1. Provides WiFi connection to your PC/MAC so that shots are immediately uploaded (you can stipulate to where). Granted your still need to import…[Read more]

Single shot with minimal PP,process in C1P7… C1 does an excellent job with S file's,only caveat is lack of tool's for dealing with C.A's.. you dont see C.A's very often with these lenses but still a L.R4 style tool for mitigating C.A would be nice..

I have used a experience with some very good wide angle's including the TSE17 and Nikkor…[Read more]

This is a 3shot hdr with the S24,,,

Very sad. Hope you had a second camera in your bag.

There were several sensors on the earlier S2 that had faulty fittings which pinched the glass covers causing them to crack, usually from or near a corner….you should take it to Leica for checking. They are duty bound…[Read more]
