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]

Well, seems it's my turn. My sensor glass cracked after over2 years in use. And that while on vacation….

Thanks for sharing, Rob. I'd be interested to see more of the 24 mm. BTW, I recognise the area where you took these, I used to live in Amsterdam for almost 25 years.

…and grass, foliage, etc. At times a reason for me.

Agreed, vignetting could likely be an issue with a 95mm polarizer.

Appreciate seeing these samples all the same.

Thanks for posting these.

I would hesitate to use a polarizer on a lens this wide,but if you do it takes 95mm filters.. I would like the option of N.D filter,I am considering the 95mm True Match…[Read more]

Many thanks.

Here is a backlit shot.. straight into the sun,, there is streaking but I find this happens with CCD's.. nevertheless the lens handles the scene well,easily dealing with the dark branches against the bright background with hardly a trace of C.A..

Hi Richard,very little pp and no polarizer.. here is the raw if you want to take a look..

Walk around shot with the S24mm .. First chance I've had to get it outdoors..

Thank you for the shots of the lens. Looks more compact than I expected it to be. Any sample image you could paste? I am waiting for the lens for a while and I am quite curious to see whether it was worth the waiting.

Best regards, Alejandro

Another thing I have learned is that it handle's backlighting…[Read more]

Alex I will post a few DNG's asap.. it's about the same size as the 70mm but heavier,the image seems to have minimal distortion and it's a great F.O.V for landscapes and interior's..

Marc, I did not know that Profoto made an AIR receiver unit. I see that B&H has a transceiver for Hensel units…but nothing specifically for Broncolor. I will have to look into this further but if they work like Pocket Wizards it should do the trick. Thanks for the heads-up.

Can confirm CS 1/1000th sync with Profoto AIR … no vignetting, clean corners.

Most other radio transmitters top out at 1/500th sync with leaf-shutter lenses. The extra stop with an AIR radio does help in overcoming the sun or white skies, and 1/1000th shutter even helps when shooting a longer hand-held lens with fill flash at wider aperture…[Read more]

I recently looked into the same issue and was told that only the Profoto Air Sync radio trigger will do the trick. Most radio triggers send a signal that needs to be coded, sent and uncoded. The Air Sync apparently sends a constant signal which is interrupted to trigger the flash. I shoot Broncolor so this isn't a viable solution for me. If I…[Read more]
