    David K replied to the topic Where are the CS lenses? in the forum S Lenses 13 years ago

    Whatever position Leica takes with regard to the upgrade…it needs to happen sooner rather than later. I see no reason for delaying a clear and concise announcement regarding this issue.

    Good work Mark…glad you had an opportunity to do this kind of shooting with some top notch models. You need to plan a trip to Florida when Roger is here and the three of us can go down to Andre's studio and shoot some models. Maybe even with CS lenses 🙂

    David K replied to the topic Any Monochrom deliveries yet? in the forum M Monochrom 13 years ago

    I'll second Jack's recommendation about dealing with David and Josh. Aside from good customer service they have an extremely close relationship with Leica…which never hurts in those iffy situations about whether it's a warranty or non-warranty repair. Been dealing with them for years and they have come thru for me on more than one occasion.

    David K replied to the topic And here we go. The NEW S2! in the forum Leica S 13 years ago

    I've been following these reports with great interest and can say that I'm very impressed with the direction that Leica is taking…both on the S and M lines. As a Leica shooter it's gratifying to see that Leica has listened and responded to the needs/wishes of its existing user base. I can't think of a single change they have made that leaves…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic Recent workshop shots in the forum Images to Share 13 years ago

    Thanks guys…glad you liked them.

    Al, it's tough to beat the Leica glass but there are some alternative lenses out there worth shooting with if you're willing to do a bit of extra work and forego the convenience of AF. I've got the Hassy 110/2 and just reacquired the 50/2.8 after testing it out. Kurt already knows this and has been doing…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic Sepia for Architecture in the forum Images to Share 13 years ago

    Glad you posted that second shot Jack…I think it's very well done and remarkably good considering the gear that was available to you at the time. When you compare that image to the one taken with the S2 the improvement in the tonal range is dramatic…at least to my eyes. And I like your newer sepia toning even better than the earlier version.…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic Sepia for Architecture in the forum Images to Share 13 years ago

    Jack,

    I think this crop works very well as does the sepia toning. Also agree that the triptych does not work well with this image as the vertical breaks in the panels interrupt the flow of the horizontal lines. Did you have a predetermined size in mind when you took the shot?

    It would be interesting to see what the print looks like…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic H to S adapter arrived! in the forum Alternative Lenses 13 years ago

    I will be testing the HC 100/2.2 next week with the new adapter with an eye towards seeing how it compares to the legendary 110/2 with the dumb adapter. My intended use for this focal length is portrait/beauty shots. For me the primary determinant will be how accurately the AF focuses the 100mm lens. Even with the micro prism screen it's a…[Read more]

    David K replied to the topic S2 and H4D/60 on same shoot. in the forum Images to Share 13 years ago

    Interesting comparison Marc. I find this kind of thing much more informative than the more scientific apples to apples tests. I've been doing similar comparisons with the Leica S2 and D800E. I prefer the shot taken with the S2. There are subtle differences between the shots which are attributable to a variety of variables aside from the…[Read more]
