I will list the occurrences.

Andy,

We have a pretty large sample size as S Professional dealers. Here's our experience with each of your issues across a lot of S2s.

1 cracked Sensor filter

Yes, we've seen cracked sensors before. The…[Read more]

Andrew, I think the words you have used in your letter are the right ones. It seems you had really bad luck with your camera. I had two issues with my body as well and found the people from Leica very dedicated to help me. I hope Leica will react to you and your issues accordingly and this means, beside giving you a working system, to communicate…[Read more]

Thanks. Re the wire: I thought about it but CS5s…[Read more]

wonderful photo, please tell where the church is located

It's a beautiful shot Pete…well done, and the colors are fabulous. Also like the way the clouds over the mountains add some balance to the image. If it were mine I'd probably clone out the black wire… but I realize that's a matter of individual taste and philosophy.

Thanks for the feedback.

Well done your picture looks absolutely gorgeous … fantastic ! I can't wait for my wide angle lens to arrive … I am going for the 35 mm .

Great shots Mark! I'm impressed that you were able to get so close to get such good results using the 50mm.

I will be at the Cavallino Classic all day on Saturday, 10am-3:30pm. I will also be at the Supercar Show in West Palm Beach on Sunday. See you at the Breakers!

Nice shot Josh… I like it a lot. Come to the Ferrari show at the Breakers in Palm Beach this weekend. I think Roger and I may be there on Saturday afternoon.

Thank you -that sounds promising.
I have ordered one yesterday and this encourages me that it was the right decision.
I use AF a lot but sometimes correct manually, and insome scenery MF works better. It works well with the standard screen but I assume even better with the microprism.

Nice. Seeing as how I only got to use the 30mm off a small balcony in NYC, your image really makes me want to go out for a “real” test. Hopefully, Leica will ramp up production soon.

Do you plan to constantly use it instead of the standard screen?
Is it brighter than the standard screen?
Thanks a lot, Tom

The matte area of the screen is the same as the standard screen, but I'd guess that the microprism circle is about a…[Read more]

I can't remember the difference in terms of brightness but I do know that I will never ever use the standard screen again. Manual focus is pretty easy.

Those who have tried it-how do you like the new Microprism focusing screen ?

Thanks Kurt.

Re the 30mm: I love it!

Think about the 35mm, add some minor weight, size and distortion and you have it. But you could ignore the last point as you have your lens profile in LR.

For me it is the Wide-angle focal length to go. I do need…[Read more]

Gorgeous, Pete. What do you think of the 30mm?

Kurt

Well, I much preferred the game result of the Viking game.
But i once again brought my M9 with WATE and took this sunset Lambeau Field shot set at 16mm.
If you enlarge the photo you will see Aaron Rodgers making one of his signature runs. He had more running yardage than any of the Packers.

This one photo completes my…[Read more]

I got mine at random. Although on order for several months, I happened to walk into a Leica store in Zuerich and they had received one from Solms that morning. Needless to say, its residence time “in stock” was very low.
