I haven't seen this problem, but then again, I can't say for sure I have ever duplicated your sequence of events. I will try it just for the heck of it.

Could be a corrupt card. I've yet to see any camera-related memory card issues with the S2 over the past 2 years so it would be surprising to see one now. Have you tried a different SD card?

I think this is pretty interesting too:

LR4.1 will introduce entirely new CA and fringing controls. I haven't tried it yet as I am skipping the RC (Release Candidate) and waiting for the full release. My entire catalog is in LR4 and I don't risk…[Read more]

The purple CA I posted came right after processing the original DNG in Capture One Pro.

I quite agree with your opinion Adobe's CA removal. Actually, I am a long time user of Capture One Pro, which I find the best (by far) for sharpness rendition and moiré correction. This was the time I used the R9/DMR…

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…

That is a nice looking bag, could you perhaps show a photo of all the gear inside and how it all fits?

I too prefer the gap between the images of the triptych. I also prefer paper prints over canvas prints however there are some advantages with gallery wrap canvas and I have recently had some made for my own walls. I did a several shot pano of the NYC skyline last fall while at PhotoPlus, was very happy with the results, and decided to get it…[Read more]

Thanks for all your efforts!

Marc,

I'm working on it. In addition to the update on S System, I'm also working on a full review of the M Monochrom, a full review of the X2 and a little something extra…. 😀

I smile every time I see that photo due to the back story. This photo turned out great as a large triptych. Seeing a photo of your triptych on the wall is the only way to get an idea of the scale without seeing it in person.

Question, it appears the triptych consists of three gallery wrapped canvas prints. Did you cut the individual images…[Read more]

I just returned from Germany the day before yesterday and will be posting several articles, one of them an update on the S System.

Thanks for your interest.

Whoa! What a lens. Thank you for sharing the photos from and of this lens. I am drooling. Fortunately, it won't fit my S2 – my wallet is safe.

You are right, I have CS3 on most of my computers and it does not have Leica info on it, but I have a 64bit copy of Photoshop from CS5 and Leica is listed, but my copy on listed three lenses, the 120mm, 70mm, and 35mm.

Tom,

The 180mm doesn't have any corrections because it doesn't need…[Read more]

If you are still having issues getting shutter count, try downloading the M8 Info program. There is also an M9 Info program here as well. Very easy.

Yes, Leica is committed to providing continuing updates for S2 firmware. I was told that many of the feature enhancements Stephan and I discussed back in October will come, but that with all the activity running up to May 10 resources for firmware development had to be shifted elsewhere. Rest assured, Leica is committed to long term support for the S2.

With the new H lens adapter, I guess there are a lot of new “S/H” lenses. The CS lenses in October now??? I would like to hear what you think of the H lens AF and handling on the S in the coming weeks.

Al,

I just played with an S2 and HCD 35-90 earlier today. AF speed is pretty good, maybe a touch…[Read more]

IF the adapter will allow the use of the H tilt-shift adapter, then S owners would finally have

Do you know if the leica H adapter will accommodate the H tilt-shift…

From what I understand there are no supply issues with Leica M9 sensors. The cameras are still available brand new and we can always order more from Leica when needed.

Leica is all about unique products that are peerless, and I think the new Leica M Monochrom fits that perfectly. Of course they understand it won't be the volume seller so that…[Read more]

The choice really depends on what you shoot, the 24 will be and I don't think the overall size would be conducive to people-street photography. But if landscape is what you are after, wait for the 24. The 30-90 zoom will be a variable aperture lens and slower than the primes from what I hear. However a perfect set…

I know that heart sinking feeling of realizing there is a problem with your sensor. It's even worse when you are the one that caused it. It will be a long time (if ever) before I will wet clean my S2 sensor again. I am glad your experience turned out so well.
