Or you buy a new Leica. 🙂

The dust removal tool enhancement is pretty cool.

Really, really nice.

Really nice.

That looks pretty nice. I like the color rendition. But I'm going to wait until Leica will release the S350. 😀

Hi Jack,

Thanks a lot. 🙂

Looks pretty impressive. Are these out of camera (except of the last one) and if not, what have you done to the files in terms of sharpening and lens corrections?

It looks to me that you already have at f/11 some diffraction, but the performance is still pretty nice.

Looking forward to more pictures…[Read more]

Thanks for posting these Jack.

I would love to see some made with a tripod.

Cheers,
Pete

Very sad. Hope you had a second camera in your bag.

Nice capture.

Really nice. I like the tonality.

Very nice review. Thanks.

Thanks.

It is already a year ago since we have been there, but the colors are still amazing to look at.

I'm jealous. 🙂 More please!

Pete, the button has a very nice feel to it. For focusing, I haven't had any problems. What I have noticed is I have to remember not to press it in while I am navigating a zoomed-in image, because that changes the playback mode.

Thanks Josh.

Brian that is a cool Christmas present. I am pretty sure Henry will make you very happy.

Enjoy.

Josh,

Please have a look how reliable the rear button is for focusing. The S2 the button has just one direction. So it works perfectly. How does this turns out now with a button having much more directions to use?

Thanks,
Pete

Yes, a silver one. 😉

Nice.

What kind of Flash Trigger you are using?

I am using Profoto Air and had never any issue.

Hi Jheroun,

I am very sorry to hear that. The only problem I had when shooting tethered was an image which was broken, unreadable. But only one out of two hundred and I had not invested time to find out what the reasons might be.

Everything else you have experienced is new to me. Maybe an exorcism in Solms will help. I would take care…[Read more]
