There is absolutely no difference. Given that there are a few factual inaccuracies in the article, I would be careful taking too much of it very seriously.

In case you guys haven't checked the front page today….

Leica S-Adapter H Begins Shipping in the United States

We received our first delivery of the S-H adapters. Now just need some lenses to test…. 😉

Cam,
I like that a great deal. I think I may try to borrow on your style a bit. I should have added a moving subject to this shot.

Port Townsend is a very interesting place. Post a few more, but change the title from Dune to Rain Shadow.

Attached files

Stumbled across a way of doing triptychs in three dimensions. An S2 is not required as the file size is very small. I tested this on these old photos as the guys on that trip will recognize the shots. Flash is required for this to work, so forget the iPhone or…[Read more]

First, I would not like an S3 introduced for at least another year. Let's let technology in sensors and hardware do a bit of a leapfrog. Otherwise, i will wait for an S4.

So my first feature request is DELAY.

I would like more ISO sure, and a better bigger buffer would occasionally be more useful. I would like an electronic ND filter,…[Read more]

Jack, you got me. 😉

BTW are you seeing only a part of the image and have to scroll to see the rest? I thought linking to a picture will extend the post width? But it does not here. Next time I will upload them again.

Pete,

In order to properly display on iPads (yes even Retina iPads)…[Read more]

Glad to see you back to posting some work. As usual, quite nice. But don't forget, you can shoot the S2 in the rain, so rain in not an excuse not to be out shooting.

Any explanation on why the extender and extension tubes will not work? I can understand the TS adapter due to the extra software commands but the extender and extension tubes should just pass right through. Thoughts?

Al,

I'm not entirely sure, but my guess is that the extra layer of communication…[Read more]

Anyone can attend Photokina (about 160,000 people attended last show). It is held in Cologne, Germany every other September (even years).

Pete Walentin;2543 wrote: Is anyone of you guys are planning to visit Photokina this year? If so it would be nice to meet. I'm currently planning to be there on the 18th of September. Maybe we can arrange a Red Dot Forum lunch?

Cheers,
Pete

I should be there.

I think a Red Dot Forum meetup would be great!

Tonight, immediately go out and shoot many more from the bike. It could be a great series. Then do a kickstart project or a Blurb book on Miami at night. Of course it would be nice to get Don Johnson to go with you.

Pete,

Sorry to hear about your mishap.

The 120 lens is the only S lens that isn't an internally focusing design. We use (and recommend) the rear button for AF activation and have never had an issue updating firmware. Usually, we update firmware with the 70mm attached so it has never been an issue.

I'd also suggest not resting the…[Read more]

The chrome finish really is nice and the new leatherette cover a lot grippier. With all of the new cameras on the market competing for your hard earned money, I would still…

I was in DC on some other business and checked out the Leica Store for fun.
Meena Yi and General Manager Eric Oberg were quite welcoming and helpful.
The store layout is quite nice, and of course, seeing all the S products in a display is not an everyday situation. The store is within a short walk of the White House, and was under two miles…[Read more]

Yes…. still working on my full review. 🙂

just to let you know that after a visit to Leica Mayfair UK today it was realised that the Adaptor was indeed faulty and the Lens was in perfect working order.. in fact the Lens had only 48 actuations and was the latest one.. wow that was a good one to keep !!
I was given a new exchange and everything is as it should…

Thanks for the tip David.

It isn't so much that the screen came loose, but rather that it may not have been seated 100% perfectly when it was installed.

Thanks.

Georg,

I updated my entire catalog to LR4.1. No issues…[Read more]

The only 50mm I have is a modern Elmar 2.8 collapsable. so it would be my favorite. There was some question as to it being safe to use on an M8 or M9 but it seems to have adequate clearance from the shutter when collapsed. I suspect that concern was about an older model? If I am not correct, someone on this forum might tell me?

I rarely…[Read more]
