Dale,

I would like to respecfully disagree…have been cleaning sensors since the Nikon D70 and not had a problem…yes you may use a half box of wipes but in 30 minutes you are
done and have the camera at your side not…on the way to or from NJ or Solms.

Need to exercise a bit of discretion and a modicum of physical acuity and…[Read more]

David,

I am following this closely as my Move 1200 pack arrived this past week…upgrade from the
Mobil LED set.

Have not had a chance to use it yet but could not pass up the extra battery and the RFS2
transmitter…not the Profoto AIR but better than the RFS original.

To keep the flock in the family?

I'm looking for experiences where such a thing has happened, and there was some way to recover them.

This was a 32 gig Sandisk card purchased from B&H, so highly unlikely a counterfeit.

Frankly, hearing that Sandisk cards have failed on you like this is…

Doug,

With you technique you would be fine…overjoyed with the output I am sure.

I used a Leica S-2P with Pentax 300 EDIF F4 lens on an adapter for the following shots….both manual focus on a monopod.

The Heron shot was very low light and was across the lake as they spook very easily here in Texas….the Mallard in better light…[Read more]

Maybe the better question is where the heck do I wholesale off all this stuff?

Still thinking, where there is a will, there is a way.

P.S., the Dunedin suggestion is a good one : -)

Now I am considering taking Leica up on their promo deal to perpetuate what I love about the S2P for at least the next 3 to 4 years … plus gain a few of the functional improvements the S brings to the party … most of which I consider marginal, but useful in real world terms.

The S warranty is apparently 1 yea…

Tom,

Does the dog sing or yodel on queue?

Love the photo,

I love it…

You could do a series of conversions with this alone.

I would never cable connect a camera…unless shooting tethered.

Break the connector off goes the camera…break the card reader and replace it in twenty minutes from eight different stores near home, or when traveling.

Kurt,

My local dealer finally received one…it is everything you imagine and then some.

I may well sell off 90 percent of my stuff and concentrate on the mono and the new M.

It really is that good.

Hopefully Leica rethinks the pricing.

After using the HC 50-110 I think it comes down to the following:

S2 (New S?) users rarely balk at the price if the product delivers …. and with a slow zoom the question becomes what price for convenience?

Surely not 10K when your prior lenses fill the focal…[Read more]

Of course you are right Roger…great warranty pricing.

Discount your present S2 and factor in the upgrade cost…you may end up paying quite a bit for the new S2.005 warranty. Probably a better deal for a new buyer.

The camera has been fairly problem free for me…hard to see where I will spend the upgrade costs for repair.

Wishful…[Read more]

One might assume that the S2 production and research cost have been amortized and really other that a couple of $25 ASICs and Gorilla Glass…which has been used on a couple billiion Cell Phones….nothing new but a bit of FW massaging.

So their net profit per camera is up?

Sounds good to me….

Doubt that any of this is a reason…[Read more]

I concur.
