    Mark Gowin replied to the topic Editorial shoot with the Leica S2 in the forum S2 12 years, 7 months ago

    For what it's worth, Leica has new version of its shuttle software for shooting tethered which should be released soon. I saw it in action at the Leica studio event at PhotoPlus about a month ago. I don't know when it will be available for S2 owners to download and I don't know if it offers any performance improvement over the current version.…[Read more]

    I agree Stuart. Leica has always handled my few equipment issues very fairly. I can honestly say, I will continue to be a Leica customer largely because the manner in which they have resolved issues and treated me over the years. A company can make the best products in the world, but that is worthless to me if they don't stand behind it.…[Read more]

    This is correct. The SF 58 won't fire in TTL on the S2, only TTL-HSS.

    I will add that as the ISO is increased the max shutter speed decreases.

    125 Seconds.

    Set the shutter speed dial to B, then depress the thumb wheel. All the times will show on the screen.

    Monochrom's are coming in, just very slowly. Demand is still extremely high which is great, but it will probably be a number of months before us dealers are caught up on our lists. Everyone I know that's received one absolutely loves it, and having some brief time to test it myself recently, I can confirm that there is no other camera like it that…[Read more]

    Yes, the lenses exist and sync perfectly at 1/1000th. They haven't started shipping yet, but are expected to by December.

    We are still trying to determine how Leica will carry out the upgrade program given the delays. I'm sorry we haven't been able to get a definitive answer yet.

    David Farkas replied to the topic The new MAX 24 MP sensor in the forum Leica M 12 years, 8 months ago

    Given Leica's drive to deliver the absolute best image quality through the entire imaging chain from lens to file, it is not surprising that they would go the extra kilometer to have the most advanced sensor on the market. They've really come a long way in the last few years, with almost all digital R&D being brought in-house.

    Josh Lehrer replied to the topic Anyone Missing Their M? in the forum S2 12 years, 8 months ago

    I love the M9 for it's versatility and small size, but the S2 is simply great for almost everything. I use it as a walk-around camera. Yes, it's bigger than the M, but I spent few years lugging around a Canon 1D with a 24-70mm so the S2 is small in comparison to that. Plus auto-focus is nice to have.
