Leica S2 New England Fall Foliage Trip – Fun Images

[Josh LehrerLegendary Member Join Date: Aug 2014 Posts: 233 Currently using: Leica M, Leica S, Leica Compact Offline]

Naturally I had to have my little Leica D-Lux 5 with me on the trip, so here are a few images from behind the scenes…enjoy!

The man himself David Farkas strikes a pose while shooting in Vermont.

Jenne Farm in Vermont. That rear LCD screen on the S2 is just fantastic.

Participant Joe Donovan had a setup that was the envy of the group, wireless iPad tethering!

David and participants Jack MacDonough and Mark Gowin seem amused despite the early morning wake-up to shoot the sun rise over Mount Washington.

The Leica S2 combined with the new Schneider 120mm Apo Macro Tilt/Shift lens is a formidable combo.

A little water on your S2? No problem.

Participants Bill Hart, Jack MacDonough, and Mark Gowin shooting near sunset. You guys all need taller tripods next time.

Here I am studying the results from using our modified Leica R 400mm APO on the S2.

Hi Josh,

Great stuff. It is always fun to take a look “behind the scenes”. 🙂

Could you please let me know which Adapter you have used for the Schneider 120mm Apo Marco Tilt/Shift lens / which mount the lens have?

Thanks,
Pete

Pete:

The adapter I used is our Leica S2-Mamiya Mount lens adapter. It works will all Mamiya 645 manual focus lenses. Along with the Schneider, we like to use the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9 as well.

Thanks. This is not the Leica M645 Adapter right?

It functions identical to the Leica adapter that was recently released, other than being less expensive.

Thanks Josh. But being in Germany, paying transport, customs and import tax, it will not make a difference.

Ok, I can add a few shots. The second is a rain survival demonstration:

Yes the 400mm is a nice set up.

You are correct Arif, it was a great time. We had a great bunch of people on the trip. Would love you have you join us next time wherever that will be.
