I ordered mine and still waiting ! This waiting game is rather irritating …. went to see my dealer the other day and met the Leica Rep Uk … talking about how thinks are going and how I like it … and why I don't shoot more stuff with my S2 ? My reply was, I'd love to but since I don't even have a complete system (lenses unavailable ) how can…[Read more]

Hi Kurt,
Great pictures and it is wonderful to see your interaction with the locals. I have always found that people who have nothing have the biggest hearts and the biggest smiles and being around them can lead to beautiful memories. I also love the fact that some of these places and the warm hospitality of the locals allows one to really…[Read more]

my dealer shipped me mine in December

I bought one – in USA in december 🙂

Thanks for the update, David. I'll be watching my calendar also.

I am marking my calendar 🙂

We were told that the microprism screen would start shipping in January. It's January and I see that some of our European members have already received screens. The usual pattern is that the US is 3 weeks behind Europe in terms of new product deliveries. So, I'd expect to see pretty good quantities in 1-2 weeks.

I think a bunch of us are in the same boat. Really do not understand why something as simple as this should be taking as long as it has…

Thanks for taking the time to comment Pete, David, David and Jack.

The Philippines is a wonderful place to photograph. Beyond the wonderful climate and scenery (which I haven't had time to yet explore) the people are extraordinary. They are open, friendly and make the best of everything that is thrown at them … good or bad. In my short…[Read more]

The first shows the Leica bokah but all are quite nice. Time for a self portrait in the new landscape.
I think Kipper is correct on your B&W process question.
I'm off to a football game this weekend, too bad you are too far away for me to borrow your 180 again.

Very nice images Kurt…am I wrong in thinking you've changed your B&W conversion a bit? Either way, I like them. I've been remiss in not wishing you the very best of luck in your new endeavor and location. Hope this is a happy and productive new year for you.

The Leica 400mm f/4 Modular APO has been converted to S2 mount:

however, does anyone know why there is a extra smaller tab on it compared to the other screens..probably a simple answer but I can't figure it out right now.

I'd like to know that as well … Btw the microprism screen is fantastic for macro

Eric,

Nice to see you here…loved your 3800 thread and the recent Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park images.

Great stuff Kurt!

Kurt, some really nice pictures. For some of them I needed a second look to get their story. Pretty cool. Cant decide which is my favorite, but I guess the first one.

I had the same problem with my sensor and I pretty much just wrote off those images. Now that I know you have a software tool to correct the image I would like to go back through my affected images to see if if I have any I want to get you to fix for me if you don't mind.

No problem, Mark. Please email…[Read more]

Stuart,
Nice shot, I agree with Jack on the white balance for this scene.

I sometimes wonder if the battery indicator is working correctly after a day of shooting! I still carry a spare and have not had to use it even after a day shooting in the cold.

Still, for me I think a lens adapter and a longer Hasselblad lens will be my choice…I will not use it enough to make it worth buying either a…
