Back in August, I said I would return to this location with the S and reshoot the scene.
As I did, I realized it would be a better diptych than triptych.

Well I would like a truly long lens, well beyond 200mm equiv. I could use 400 to 600mm equiv.

In the meantime, I appreciate my new wide zoom which has no purple in high contrast. See image.

Marc,

I followed your lead and just got the S 006 from Josh at Leica Miami.
The three year platinum like warranty was the clincher, vs one year with the S-E
But so was the price now that the 007 has been announced and kept 006 prices down.

Not sure that there are many left to be had in the US at this point.

The 006 is all around crisper to…[Read more]

This little video of a 120mm lens focusing before and after the update suggest there is one less step of searching now.
The sound tells the story a bit clearer than the embarrassingly fuzzy image.

I have a director/cine friend who has been encouraging me to always shoot video on my still landscape shots, just to provide it to video stock agencies. Haven't bothered in the past, but might with 4K on the 007. I like 4K over HD as it is a bit of future proofing. As a presentation format, I need to be inspired by seeing someone else's…[Read more]

David,
Thanks for your advice.
There is no planned triptych here, as the images will be on individual pages in a book.
But you are right, if there was one, I would find a way.
The naming of the images occurs because I am uploading the files to my website first.
Then I do a screen save from that website, and the website gives them the strange…[Read more]

And the full S

Forgive me, as the ability to upload more than one image is an issue for me.

vs the T crop

Here is the S and the crop

Since I am not sure that the new forum allows full resolution inspection, here is a crop

David,
I have now lived with your new format awhile.
1. I think your features of NEws Reviews and Field Tests are handled much better than before.
If I send someone to the RedDot it appears as a better sourced of Leica info than anywhere else.
Congratulations.

2. The Forum just takes getting used to it.

Given that over the last three years, you…[Read more]

To answer one of my question, I now see the 4K video is sized just about super 35. So the lens factor is 2. A 120 will look as 240mm or 200 in 35mm equivalents. A 24 will not be 19mm but 38mm in 35mm equivalents. Some are already suggesting that a special wide angle will be useful.

Josh,
A good reply.
Yes I wanted higher resolution, but given that I have already sold enlargements up to 7.5 feet by 5 feet with a S2, the desire for more pixels is a desire not a requirement. Turns out that 45″x30″ is the normal upper limit of an enlargement, not because of resolution, but because any larger is a challenge to physically have a…[Read more]

Yes, I updated fine thanks.
The instructions say double click the zip file, but apparently that was not necessary to do, as the computer automatically behind the scenes, opened to the final file.
