$5300 net to me, that's over a grand off the new price.

Hello Brian,
Can you shim Jupiter-9? If so, what would be the cost?
I have one that cannot focus correctly with my leica m9.
I only need it to focus close distance. Both if possible.
Thanks

Very impressive in many aspects.

Without color information from the sensor, emulating the effects of color filters in post processing cannot be done with sliders. You could selectively “Grab” areas of the image and selectively lighten/darken them, like dodging and burning.

I don't think color filters can be accurately replicated in post-production. The Monochrom sensor only captures luminance values. The DNG files produced will not hold any color channel information, making it very difficult (dare I say impossible) to apply color filters in post-production.

The Monochrom does come with Silver Efex Pro 2 with…[Read more]

Thanks for continuing to post Michael. We all appreciate your photographic contribution to Red Dot Forum.

No need to apologize for the spots, scratches, etc. I think those “imperfections” help portray the reality of the moment. If they were completely sharp and clear, what would that say about the event? The dust & scratches, and especially…[Read more]

Nice set. Personally, I think the S2 really shines in desert light.

Very nice, Pete!

Correction – the Pano is a FIVE image stitch. 65 images? The sun would have set twice by the time I was finished.

No idea on price, but I'm expecting Leica to show the lens along with the 24mm f/3.5 at Photokina in two weeks. We'll have a all the details then…. and yes, I will be attending and reporting.

Thank you for the info. Any word on price and general availability yet?

Hey. Thanks. 🙂

The drama is simple. A mistake will cost you several thousand dollars. The S2 sensor is designed with the cover glass glued onto the sensor. You can't just replace the cover glass, you have to replace the entire sensor if the cover glass gets scratched. Also, please note that is pretty easy to scratch the coating on the cover glass.

I had…[Read more]

Stunning, stunning, stunning shots.

I've been told that the 30-90mm is roughly the same size and…[Read more]

Really exceptional work ! Well deserved that its was published by Paris Match . Thank you for sharing this .

Very impressive photos. I'm glad you were safe. So much in life is about timing.

I like how you instinctively started photographing. In a situation like you described, photography is much more than just documenting what's in front of you. It's an opportunity to ask and to try to uncover the question ‘why?'

I can assure you that Lightroom 4 fully supports the S2. In fact, LR4 is included when you buy a S2. Leica and Adobe seem to have an excellent relationship. In fact, this link shows that the latest release candidate for LR4 includes profiles for S lens that haven't even been released yet.

I'm curious about this. Looking at Adobe's site about Camera Raw, I see that the S2 isn't listed: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html. (The MM is listed.)

Anyone know why that is? I'm upgrading software and saw this. Also, does anyone have any opinions about CS6/Lightroom 4.1 versus Capture 1? I haven't used Capture 1, but…[Read more]
