Where can I find this information ?

Hi Gérard,

You will find the presets in this article.

I switched as well from C1 to LR and I think both programs has their pros and cons. As there is no choice when using the S2 it wasn't a big question for me. But today with LR4 you are ahead of C1. At least for now.…[Read more]

Hi David:

Please do publish your recommendations for S2 presets in LR 4.

Thanks

Hi David,

Thank you very much for taking time to help me. I appreciate very much. We do not know each other, as you live in Florida, which is quite far from the area of Chartres, where I live, a nice city 50 miles SW of Paris, France… But I can tell you that I have been reading your blog very often since I discovered it after Photokinas,…[Read more]

The purple CA I posted came right after processing the original DNG in Capture One Pro.

I quite agree with your opinion Adobe's CA removal. Actually, I am a long time user of Capture One Pro, which I find the best (by far) for sharpness rendition and moiré correction. This was the time I used the R9/DMR…

do your S2 hang after the last firmware-update? I had this during a shooting but it was quickly resoved by removing the batteries (not so fast when the grip is used)

Thank you David. It was really just the (potential) loss of output power that worried me because on the Canon flashes (i.e. – 580EX), getting a respectable amount of outdoor flash in daylight conditions can be difficult with their high speed sync option, especially if used in…[Read more]

It's been a frustrating day… I've been using flashes on Canon gear for 10 years and feel competent with flashes. After 100 clicks and no joy with TTL and the S2 I was thoroughly stumped.

Perhaps I missed it, but I've read the S2 manual 2X, the SF-58 (found no mention of the S2 anywhere) and went to…

Just to add info for the next person googling this topic…

I have a Phase One DF paired with a Phase One P65+, and now the S2. The handling between these two cameras is very different. The S2 is like a large dSLR and its viewfinder easily surpasses the Phase One DF in terms of brightness, perhaps size and clarity. To put this into…[Read more]

While I have not seen that kind of color fringing from the S lenses, I would say that if you go into the manual corrections area and select “defringe” and then “all edges”, it should help with that. If that does not work, then doing a local selection on that area and desaturating it should work fairly well.

Hi Gérard –

Is purple CA before editing in CS6 or after editing in CS6? Also, do you use Lightroom as your raw editor? Lightroom v4.1 rc2 has the same Adobe Camera Raw module (version 7.1) built-in.

Thus far I have not been very impressed with Adobe's CA removal. The CA removal in Capture One is more effective are in most cases…[Read more]

That is a nice looking bag, could you perhaps show a photo of all the gear inside and how it all fits?

I am wondering how this come together. There has to be some collaboration between Leica and Hasselblad to make this happen. Would be interesting to get some intel. 😉

Thanks to Kurt: Here is the answer!

Still so impressed with this bag for an S2 kit… from city to trail. For a day hike I clipped the optional ThinkTank Shoulder Harness 2.0 (backpack straps) to a midsize ThinkTank Attachment Strap clipped over the top of the bag, which allows easy access to the interior. I also clipped a ThinkTank RUHot (water bottle holder) to the side via a…[Read more]

David, now that Leica has introduced the S2 lens adapter for Hasselblad H lenses, is there any closer probability of a similar, fully integrated, adapter for Contax 645 lenses, either from Leica or the company that you have had discussions with?

I too prefer the gap between the images of the triptych. I also prefer paper prints over canvas prints however there are some advantages with gallery wrap canvas and I have recently had some made for my own walls. I did a several shot pano of the NYC skyline last fall while at PhotoPlus, was very happy with the results, and decided to get it…[Read more]

Looking forward to the review David! Also if possible, please share with us how you'd like to process the files from MM.

Thanks for all your efforts!

Marc,

I'm working on it. In addition to the update on S System, I'm also working on a full review of the M Monochrom, a full review of the X2 and a little something extra…. 😀

The smile on Mark's face about the back story makes me smile again.

The back story for other readers is that only Mark knew exactly where to drive to get this shot in the falling light. I was riding with him.
The last van made a wrong turn, even though they were following us, and arrived in total darkness. Mark, please remind me who the…[Read more]
