    PebblePlace replied to the topic SF 58 doesn't work or I don't know to read the manual! in the forum S2 13 years, 8 months ago

    David Farkas;2354 wrote: There is no loss of power on the SF58.

    Thank you David. It was really just the (potential) loss of output power that worried me because on the Canon flashes (i.e. – 580EX), getting a respectable amount of outdoor flash in daylight conditions can be difficult with their high speed sync option, especially if used in…[Read more]

    PebblePlace replied to the topic Leica vs. Hasselblaud vs. PhaseOne in the forum S2 13 years, 8 months ago

    Just to add info for the next person googling this topic…

    I have a Phase One DF paired with a Phase One P65+, and now the S2. The handling between these two cameras is very different. The S2 is like a large dSLR and its viewfinder easily surpasses the Phase One DF in terms of brightness, perhaps size and clarity. To put this into…[Read more]

    PebblePlace replied to the topic SF 58 doesn't work or I don't know to read the manual! in the forum S2 13 years, 8 months ago

    Hi David –

    It's been a frustrating day… I've been using flashes on Canon gear for 10 years and feel competent with flashes. After 100 clicks and no joy with TTL and the S2 I was thoroughly stumped.

    Perhaps I missed it, but I've read the S2 manual 2X, the SF-58 (found no mention of the S2 anywhere) and went to the Leica owners area to…[Read more]

    PebblePlace replied to the topic Lens Profiles for Photoshop? in the forum S Lenses 13 years, 8 months ago

    Hi GĂ©rard –

    Is purple CA before editing in CS6 or after editing in CS6? Also, do you use Lightroom as your raw editor? Lightroom v4.1 rc2 has the same Adobe Camera Raw module (version 7.1) built-in.

    Thus far I have not been very impressed with Adobe's CA removal. The CA removal in Capture One is more effective are in most cases…[Read more]

    PebblePlace replied to the topic Suggestions for feature additions in future S2 firmware updates in the forum S2 13 years, 8 months ago

    +1 FOR ISO:

    On the Phase One backs with Sensor+ the ISO steps as such: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 200+, 400+, 800+, 1600+ and 3200+. It's quite simple and easy to know when you are or are not in Sensor+ mode.

    If Leica could implement the same with the reduced read speeds & channels, that would be amazing – and maybe they could add…[Read more]

    PebblePlace replied to the topic Adjust EC in 1/3 increments? in the forum S2 13 years, 8 months ago

    Thank you for the link, that was a very helpful thread. Wish they could change the system (Aperture, Shutter & ISO) to shift in 1/3 increments. It certainly isn't the end of world, but I was surprised not to see 1/2 v 1/3 option like the M9.

    PebblePlace replied to the topic Meeting with S2 product manager Stephan Schulz tomorrow in the forum S2 13 years, 8 months ago

    Was there write-up summarizing the meeting? I would like know the next lenses are expected and what firmware features we may see.
