Hi Stuart –

There might be some curvature with the 70S. The pic below was taken at F4 and the windmill blades are pin point sharp at 100%. While editing the image I noticed the structure became soft at the lower / base area. There could be several reasons –

1) Lens was angled slightly upwards, so the DOF plane was at an angle -…[Read more]

Al,

I believe David Farkas has checked into this and confirmed that the upgrades are available on purchases after the Sept 20, 2010 date and up until the CS lenses become available or something like that. Hopefully, David can clarify. I too have a lens purchase after that date which I hope is upgradable.

Have they changed their position on the upgrade process? I thought that there was no time limit on when you bought the original lens and was told just the opposite recently that there is a definite cut off date. So I checked on the owners area today and there indeed is a purchase by date of Sept 20, 2010. So it would appear that any lens…[Read more]

I think the word “delivery date” at Leica means “eventually delivered earliest…”
Good thing they can do optics better than scheduling.

Very nice pano.

Excellent image David. Well worth going back for the second attempt. And please post some from your Acadia visit.

@:Kurt Kamba : Thank you !

Actually, I think October is the 3rd or 4th date they have given for CS availability. Generally i do not need CS lenses, but I would like to have one – either the 70 or 120 CS.

Maybe they will start selling the HC adapter with little red Leica stickers so people can put a sticker over the Hasselblad logo 🙂

I'll be sure to ask them about the quality control around announcements, not just the gear. (they did say October 2012 for the CS lenses, didn't they?)

Remind me again how long it has been since they first promised these!

I think that it's astounding that we are seeing the announcement of a replacement S camera before the first…[Read more]

Thanks for posting your photos. Excellent images …. they provide an interesting view of everyday life.

Unfortunately the CS lenses have not yet started to ship from Leica yet. They will have a number of pre-production examples at Photo Plus Expo in New York City next week, and I will be sure to ask them what the status of production is.

Josh,
Here is one not shot from a window, I walked outside in the rain. The day before this bird bath was empty. Nice that the S2 can handle the rain so well. Our drought is over for a day.
I learned on the New England S2 trip last year that autumn colors work well in rain.

The second shot is sort of an abstract that I may play with a…[Read more]

The screen is now sold, thank you!

Beautiful. I miss that color!

I've been curious to see examples of the 100/2.2 HC on the S2 (hint-hint-hint!) I don't have an H system, so buying the HC adapter + 100/2.2 is an expensive experiment.

The Hasselblad 110/2 really is something wonderful on its intended 6×6 negative. I liked it on my Phase One systems, but on the S2 with its smaller sensor, some of the magic…[Read more]
