David Farkas replied to the topic is there a macro flash for the s2 in the forum S2 14 years, 1 month ago
I thought that the R1C1 might work with the S2 in manual mode, but according to a few S2 owners who have the R1C1 and have tried it, the R1C1 does not work.
I'm curious if Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX would work in Manual mode on the S2…. any S2 users have one laying around?

Yes, the Schneider APO 120mm T/S Macro can be used on a Leica S2 using a Mamiya 645 Adapter. I apologize that the Schneider 120mm is not yet on our website, but we can certainly get the lens for you if you like as we are Schneider dealers.

Josh Lehrer replied to the topic How do I know my new S2 is brand new? in the forum S2 14 years, 1 month ago
It is just about impossible to buy a new Leica camera with 0 shutter actuations, as Leica tests every body in their factory before it is shipped. While there is no way to verify the number of shots on an S2 body, I can say from experience that M9 cameras ship with between 50-150 shots already taken. Additionally, we (at Dale Photo & Digital) check…[Read more]

It appears that this 30mm will be the widest lens available as a CS lens. So, I may have to rethink my lens strategy … keep the 35, but get the CS version of the 30 when available. Then a 70CS and 120CS upgrade.
Here's a tech question for the Leica lads … if you use…

TTL-HSS is TTL on the S2. It just works at any and all shutter speeds up to 1/4000th. Set the camera to whatever exposure mode (M, P, A, or S) and settings you wish to shoot at, and the flash will adjust accordingly. Works remarkably well for me in both direct and bounce modes.
Not sure why you are not able to get your secondary small flash…[Read more]

David Farkas replied to the topic is the 120 CS lens worth the upgrade to shoot macro in the forum S Lenses 14 years, 1 month ago
In my recent conversation with the S2 product managers, they outlined the CS firing sequence as follows:
- shutter release is pressed
- mirror goes up
- focal plane shutter opens
- camera starts exposure
- central shutter closes
- focal plane shutter closes
- central shutter opens
- mirror returns
As it is now, there is no reduction in…[Read more]

The SU-800 Commander for the R1C1 does have the ability to control the SB-R200 flashes in M mode so it should work, although I have not personally tried.
