Andy,

Those are some serious woes. I hate to hear about your misfortune. In my opinion, your note to Leica is very reasonable considering the extent of your problems. I wish you the best in getting the problems sorted out.

I will list the occurrences.

Andy,

We have a pretty large sample size as S Professional dealers. Here's our experience with each of your issues across a lot of S2s.

1 cracked Sensor filter

Yes, we've seen cracked sensors before. The…[Read more]

Great shots Mark! I'm impressed that you were able to get so close to get such good results using the 50mm.

I will be at the Cavallino Classic all day on Saturday, 10am-3:30pm. I will also be at the Supercar Show in West Palm Beach on Sunday. See you at the Breakers!

Nice. Seeing as how I only got to use the 30mm off a small balcony in NYC, your image really makes me want to go out for a “real” test. Hopefully, Leica will ramp up production soon.

Do you plan to constantly use it instead of the standard screen?
Is it brighter than the standard screen?
Thanks a lot, Tom

The matte area of the screen is the same as the standard screen, but I'd guess that the microprism circle is about a…[Read more]

We were told that the microprism screen would start shipping in January. It's January and I see that some of our European members have already received screens. The usual pattern is that the US is 3 weeks behind Europe in terms of new product deliveries. So, I'd expect to see pretty good quantities in 1-2 weeks.

Great stuff Kurt!

Hi Eric,

I had the same problem with my sensor and I pretty much just wrote off those images. Now that I know you have a software tool to correct the image I would like to go back through my affected images to see if if I have any I want to get you to fix for me if you don't mind.

In the “TTL-HSS” mode, my subjects are often in the next room by that time; I do however have some lovely, perfectly exposed images of walls and such which should lend nicely to the…

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year as well. I think 2012 is going to be a great year!

It's a Photokina year and there will be all kinds of new photography goodies will be announced.

I already passed into the new year and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

I hope our S2 community is continuing to grow in the new year and I wish to thank David and Josh for their “work” and making this forum possible.

Cheers,
Pete

Your daughter is a cutie. She has such determination in her eyes in the first photo and pride shows in the last photo. Thank you for posting.

Pete,

Congratulations on your early arrival into the new year. I second your sentiments in wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

However, I would probably consider a 13″ Macbook Air (very small) for on the road image review and new loaded desktop with large display for image processing and editing. I see value in your thinking to get a fast laptop with 100% RGB display so you can process images while on the…

I would be interested in seeing photos from your skiing trip. Please post a few if you don't mind.

I am looking to pick up an M6 in great condition but am completely new to the Leica / rangefinder world. Looking to get some longevity out of this investment, basically I want to be able to pick a camera up in 40 years and still have it work just as the day I got it (with proper care…

Lens is sold.

I like your sunburst. I have a similar photo from this past Fall. It is fun to catch this type of atmospheric condition in a photo.

Hi Arif,

Unfortunately, I have seen this before except my line was green. I was able to show this problem on my camera to Stephan Shulz and Toni Felzner (S2 product managers) at the S2 studio event during PhotoPlus in NYC last October. They indicated that it can be fixed with a custom firmware. I choose to send my S2 back to Germany for…[Read more]
