Beautiful picture, the contrast of the sky and clouds make it a stand-out.

What filter -if any- did you use? I've been using orange and red to get that type of sky.

wow, nice!

yes, last ones are really great!

If you mean an official statement from Leica per the 35-70mm, I don't know if that's something they would do. Most likely, if it's a lens they plan on supporting, a profile for it would be released in a future firmware update. It's quite a rare lens and I imagine they have other items prioritized ahead of that, like shipping the M!

I believe this is because Leica did not have the lens available to test…although the lens in the above images (which belongs to us) has been loaned to Leica Germany by us so hopefully they will be able to make a profile for it.

With the S2, Leica did offer customers the option to purchase the Premium Service Package within the first year of ownership that extended the warranty by one additional year, for a total of two years and cost $1,595. In addition to extending the warranty of the S2 by a year, it also allowed you a one-time, 30% discount on an…[Read more]

Looks like you had a productive trip! Nice stuff.

I agree, this shot is awesome!

A few of use purchased the extended warranty for Leica on the S2 . This was done at the time we purchased the camera in my case January 2011. It was my understanding that the warranty was just one year . So I have assumed my warranty was up in January 2013 .

It was darn expensive around $1700 and for my limited use seemed a…[Read more]

Thank you so much David. I just wished I had a full sized tripod with me!

Great. Many thanks for the clarification!

In the Leica S2, the fastest SD card you can use is a class 10 SDHC card. It is not compatible with anything faster. Per a CF card, it is compatible with a UDMA6 card but not the newer UDMA7 cards. That's one of the advantages that the new Leica S has, full compatibility with the latest 1000x UDMA7 CF cards. I'm getting write speeds 50-60% faster…[Read more]

So, is there any 32gb SDHC card with a faster than a 20Mb/s transfer rate that the S2 can use?

And to clarify, what's the fastest useable 32gb CF card? UDMA 7 ok?

Thanks.

Well I have some unfortunate news. After speaking with Leica, they indicated that you cannot purchase the new Leica S Protection Plan on an S2-P that is in it's second year of warranty. The terms of the new plan indicate that you need to acquire it within one year of purchasing the new camera, whether it is an S2 or an S2-P.

This means that…[Read more]
