Okay, so I did a little bit more testing. First I took a batch of ten S2 files (all different real-life images) and processed them in LR 3.6 with my standard S2 preset. Ten images exported to 1000px wide JPG, quality 90 with screen sharpening took 38 seconds. I then ran the exact same images through LR4 two ways. The first was without adjustments,…[Read more]

About 1min 15 secs for the same number of images with the same settings. The problem manifested itself for me when I needed to process a few hundred images for upload to the web so the client could make selections. That process took well over half an hour which seemed awfully slow. But at 7.5 secs per image…it makes sense.

Field test was positive. Obviously, carrying an S2, 3 lenses, a bit RRS tripod and an Arca d4 hear is not really a pleasure, but the backpack made it bearable.

David–Again many thanks for the tip.

Thanks Mark, David and Tom. I am not sure how many S2 shots were submitted but I know for sure that I hAVE seen many here and elsewhere that would have deserved to be in the book.

Georg

Your example is impressive in illustrating the benefit of this new feature. Thank you for showing us Jack.

David,
Are you running it in 64bit mode? Does seem odd that a simple process should take so long. Good excuse for a cool beer or a mojito I guess. 😎

Hey one and all. I'm new to the forum but have been a leica for the past year and a lover of film photography for over a decade now, though I've had a beginning love affair with digital in between.

My one and only Leica is a black M6 🙂 with a Elmar-M 50mm f/2.8. I love shooting in color and black and white but am planning on getting into…[Read more]

+1 Well done!!

Very impressive Al. The moon is beautiful with the trees and clouds around it.

yes, my congrats as well Georg.

Mark,
You guys said that about the S2 a little over a year ago and I succeeded to resist for about a week 😀

Congratulations Georg.

Hey Al,

You did a good job of procrastinating on getting an iPad till now. However, now that the “new iPad” is out and you can see the benefit with the EyeFi card, resistance is futile.

This really intrigued me, enough to take the plunge and purchase the Eye-Fi Pro card and give it a try myself. I put it through the test with my S2, M9, X1 and Canon S95 all tethered to my iPhone4. In all cases it succeeded in transferring JPEG files to the iPhone4. I tried a long range test just to see what would happen to the download and…[Read more]

Just to follow up. I reinstalled twice and its the same problem.
Then I put in the old focusing screen and it turns out that it shows the same behaviour (just more difficult to realized because there is no split line)

What I allways thought would be an AF more precise than my eyes seems to be a screen holder which is not in its totally…[Read more]

Tom,
I ordered the Kata from Amazon as the prices of dealers in Belgium were prohibitive. It arrived yesterday. The S2 w/ 4 lenses fits in easily (one could even add a M9 and a couple of lenses). I particularly like the tripod holder, which seems to hold well the RRS tripod. Even if i will not allways take the whole stuff, the backpack will…[Read more]

I'm glad for you that you are getting the problem sorted out with Leica. You would probably be best served by purchasing the premium service contract that extends your warranty out another year. Here in the US the premium warranty is much less expensive than the Platinum warranty.

Thinking maybe I should have waited a while before touting LR4. Recently tried to export 200+ S2 DNG's to relatively small jpegs and it takes forever. Much, much slower than LR3. Probably best to wait a while before making the changeover. I would have thought that after the extensive beta testing Adobe would have worked these kinds of bugs out…
