Hi David,

Thanks for the great news. Knowing that you will test this new lens. I really would like to see if there are any visible distortion. Also concern about lens flare!

Looking forward to see your test images.

Thanks.

Bobby

You made my day! 😉

Just a friendly reminder to send us any questions or comments for the S2 product managers. We will be meeting later this afternoon.

Thanks!

Eric,

Hope to see you there today.

30mm f/2.8 announced today. See new thread and article on main page for details.

Kurt, lovely image and lovely colors. I love the 120mm, probably that and the 35 are 99% for me.

Fantastic images, and in particular the last one with the billboard.

Would you kindly reveal your “secret”, i.e. which lens, and what were the
settings? What post processing did you use to create the almost illustrative
look (which is particularly striking and appreciated in this image).

Thanks

Thanks David.

I hope your trip to NYC is going great!

Let us know if you hear of some S2 news or see some interesting new gear.

Regards,

Joe

I did see it. Josh and I are meeting with S2 product managers Stephan Shulz and Toni Felsner this afternoon. We have plenty to discuss, and I'm hoping, lots to share after our meeting.

Don't bother coming back to Florida without micro prism screens 🙂

If they need any beta testers, just let me know … I'd volunteer in a heartbeat. 😉 If they are/were able to introduce this as a firmware update, it'd be a great additional selling point.

Very nice!

I posted this on another thread as follow-up but don't know if you saw it. Has there been any more discussion from Leica on what you mentioned earlier? As S2 users continue to increase the range of applications in which they engage the S2, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that adding the extra stop or two would be incredibly useful for…[Read more]

Thanks, David.

No question I'm using the S2 more and more. On my recent trip to Hawaii, I only took the S2. I was sorry I left the 5D II at home as I missed out on some night photography. The S2 would not work for me as the only camera when doing extensive travel photography. On my trip to Burma, 90% of my shooting was handheld and probably 50% of the images…[Read more]

How did you know about my 35 cron ASPH Anthracite? I don't remember posting that info online…. :confused:

I think I'll hold onto it…along with my silver 90 Elmarit. Some vices are hard to give up (lenses too). 😀

I was very happy with the S2 in my trip to Burma and Indonesia that I now use it almost all the time which has been a very pleasant plus. I was quite depressed in the fact that I had to send it off to Solms for replacing the top LED and now that it is back, I don't use my M9 and recently sold the D3S. Nostalgia stops me from selling the M9 but I…[Read more]

I was fortunate not to have had to sell either my Nikon D3S or M9 systems to acquire the S2 kit although I did have to part with my earlier MF kit and a LOT more lenses to afford it.

As my results improve with the S2 I have given serious thought to whether the Nikon D3S system is something I should consider selling. The main advantages for…[Read more]
