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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
