Thanks,

Very nice!

How did you know about my 35 cron ASPH Anthracite? I don't remember posting that info online…. :confused:

I think I'll hold onto it…along with my silver 90 Elmarit. Some vices are hard to give up (lenses too). 😀

I've made no secret that I use the S2 for almost all of my shooting these days. I actually feel guilty for not using my M gear as much as I used to. I've been an avid M shooter for years, but always had an affinity for SLR shooting as well. The R9/DMR was great and I was a huge advocate and enthusiastic user of the system. But, at the time, I used…[Read more]

Pete, I enjoyed your NYC photos posted here and on your blog. I am on my way to NYC tomorrow. Your photos have me thinking of image possibilities. I have been busy shooting fall landscapes in the mountains the last 2-3 weeks so it will be a big change being in NYC.

David,

Nice shots. You really nailed the tractor shot. Unfortunately, I must have moved my focus or just not paid attention to focus at all as I was chopping down weeds with a Swiss Army Knife in front of our camera position.

Will the newest version also fade over time? I'm not certain if that is nature of these types of panels or if it was because of a component from a particular supplier, but I thought that I'd see what you've heard.

Kurt,

From what I've heard, this new component shouldn't fade like the original…[Read more]

Is there a list of serial numbers that qualify for the replacement?

Mine is a 2010 model with serial number 3800XXX that is now almost impossible to read in daylight (not sunlight, rather daylight!)

Cheers

Ed

All S2s with the original OLED component are eligible for free replacement.

To give everyone a better idea of what to look for…this image (taken outdoors in open shade) shows 3 different S2 bodies with 3 different OLED screens. The bottom S2's screen is from an early batch of S2 bodies, and exhibits heavy fading to the point where it can barely be seen. The middle S2's OLED screen was replaced by Leica before the newest…[Read more]

Hey Al, It will be great to see you again. I plan on going to Photo Plus and Leica's S studio event.

Since all the good spots at the roadside were taken…I climbed up the mountain to where the waterfall fed the pond. The good news is that I was out of the frame for all the roadside shooters. As you may recall…it was pretty much dark out when…

Josh, David, and Jack,

Thank you for the sRGB advice. I have been exporting in sRGB color space and only recently noticed an issue. Perhaps my export preset got inadvertently changed. I will check.

Jack, your photos posted in this thread have good pop to them. Also, my ugly mug is proof that someone my age and stature should not be in…[Read more]

David K;1005 wrote: We really had some great spots to shoot this day. Here's one that I climbed half a mountain for…not my best shot of the day but the one I worked hardest to get. Also a bit different than what's been posted.

I like this shot a lot, but have no idea where you took it. :confused: Can you give me a hint?

Mark and Al, looking forward to seeing you both in NYC. 😀

You are correct Arif, it was a great time. We had a great bunch of people on the trip. Would love you have you join us next time wherever that will be.

Mark, usually that happens when the photos are uploaded with a color space other than sRGB. When the browser converts it to sRGB for web viewing, it gets very dull.

Wow! Great photos everyone. I wish I had time to post my photos much earlier. It is tough to follow such good photos. Like David I will try to post some different views.

S2, Leica 400mm APO-Telyt-Modular R lens converted to S mount, ISO pull 80, 1/3 sec, f8.0 (estimated)

S2, 70mm, ISO 640, 1/90 sec, f8.0

For some reason my…[Read more]

The original OLED part, while ultimately defective, is a great idea. The ability to color-code information on the top display allows the user to quickly see what's going with the camera. For example, if a setting on the top OLED is blue while shooting tethered, that means that setting is being controlled from the computer. If something is green,…[Read more]

I will be there from Oct 26 – 30th. I will definitely meet up with you and Josh sometime during that period.
