Eric,

Hope to see you there today.

Thanks,

Very nice!

How did you know about my 35 cron ASPH Anthracite? I don't remember posting that info online…. :confused:

I think I'll hold onto it…along with my silver 90 Elmarit. Some vices are hard to give up (lenses too). 😀

I've made no secret that I use the S2 for almost all of my shooting these days. I actually feel guilty for not using my M gear as much as I used to. I've been an avid M shooter for years, but always had an affinity for SLR shooting as well. The R9/DMR was great and I was a huge advocate and enthusiastic user of the system. But, at the time, I used…[Read more]

The material is soft to the touch microfiber of some sort.
Net it feels good and is quiet.

I got my first M6 in the early 80's and preferred to use vests for photography back then.
I bought this vest then as the perfect combination of usable pockets and style. I ended up not using it as I preferred to downplay the brand of whatever gear I…[Read more]

Kipper,
So far your shot of the dead trees is one of my favorite images from that location.
Both David and I posted wide-angle shots of the location, and Joe privately showed me some excellent work. The dead trees was the best subject for all three of you.

However I did go back and of course try and convert one of my huge merges into a…[Read more]

David,

Nice shots. You really nailed the tractor shot. Unfortunately, I must have moved my focus or just not paid attention to focus at all as I was chopping down weeds with a Swiss Army Knife in front of our camera position.

Doug,
As you might notice from my other postings, I too prefer pockets over bags. I wear a sport coat as my purse, and it is because it has many handy pockets. On the Fall trip I used a rain jacket and a hunting jacket which had large pockets.

I had vests in the past. But I concluded they are clunky and the pockets are not big enough for S…[Read more]

Will the newest version also fade over time? I'm not certain if that is nature of these types of panels or if it was because of a component from a particular supplier, but I thought that I'd see what you've heard.

Kurt,

From what I've heard, this new component shouldn't fade like the original…[Read more]

Is there a list of serial numbers that qualify for the replacement?

Mine is a 2010 model with serial number 3800XXX that is now almost impossible to read in daylight (not sunlight, rather daylight!)

Cheers

All S2s with the original OLED component are eligible for free replacement.

To give everyone a better idea of what to look for…this image (taken outdoors in open shade) shows 3 different S2 bodies with 3 different OLED screens. The bottom S2's screen is from an early batch of S2 bodies, and exhibits heavy fading to the point where it can barely be seen. The middle S2's OLED screen was replaced by Leica before the newest…[Read more]

I like this shot a lot, but have no idea where you took it. :confused: Can you give me a hint?

Mark and Al, looking forward to seeing you both in NYC. 😀

Mark,
Just for our learning, would you reexport one of your images from LR with sRGB selected so we can see the difference please.

Meanwhile here are a few shots of you.

The one of you in the falls is my favorite. You were wearing the right color for the shot. I captured your right arm in movement.

For others viewing…[Read more]

Mark, usually that happens when the photos are uploaded with a color space other than sRGB. When the browser converts it to sRGB for web viewing, it gets very dull.

The original OLED part, while ultimately defective, is a great idea. The ability to color-code information on the top display allows the user to quickly see what's going with the camera. For example, if a setting on the top OLED is blue while shooting tethered, that means that setting is being controlled from the computer. If something is green,…[Read more]

Having seen the new display vs my old one, this replacement is worth losing the camera for a bit.

Doug;986 wrote: Mine is essentially invisible in daylight as well… Is this service done in NJ?

Doug,

Unfortunately, all S2 service is performed in Germany. The good news is that turnaround for S2 service is pretty quick.

I have been playing with this combination a bit today to see what's what. I tried every combination I could, camera on first, flash on first, camera on then attach flash while off, camera on then attach flash while on. I have yet to find a combination where the flash will not allow me to select TTL-HSS while attached to the camera. If I take the…[Read more]
