    constable replied to the topic Firmware update 1.0.4.2 in the forum S2 9 years, 6 months ago

    The update installs with no issues as far as I am concerned. Still no improvement on the recognition of the Hassy adaptor which is still a little bit hit and miss …

    constable replied to the topic S3 — what new features would you like? in the forum S2 9 years, 11 months ago

    Dear all

    Very hard to say.

    The real need is high ISO, but the reality is that the S2/3 will never challenge the D800E or the D4.

    Long lenses? But again, MF will never really come into competition with 35 mm.

    For me the killer development would be a genuine 1:1 macro lens. I bought into the system inter alia for the macro…[Read more]

    irakly;1933 wrote:
    As to the price tag, look at it this way: Leica S2 is a system, which makes 35mm SLR unnecessary for the most part. So, there is no need to maintain two systems. It really saves you 10-15 grand, depending on your lens lineup.
    Even for those who shoot wildlife and sports, all you need is one 35mm SLR body and a 300/2.8…

    constable replied to the topic Microprism focusing screen availability … in the forum S2 10 years, 5 months ago

    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.

    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

    constable replied to the topic Replacing the focusing screen in the forum S2 10 years, 6 months ago

    My S2-P came with a displaced screen. Easy job to put it back in place with surgical tools. To avoid scratching I simply gave the tips of the tweezers a spray with Teflon before use.

    If Solms will send me a micro prism screen I will repeat the exercise (hint!!! On order for a long time now :-))
