    I use the Panasonic EW-DJ10A for sensor cleaning. It reduces the chance for scratching by moistening as it pushes the dust away.

    rgk replied to the topic S2 Mishaps in the forum S2 13 years, 3 months ago

    I'm glad for you that you are getting the problem sorted out with Leica. You would probably be best served by purchasing the premium service contract that extends your warranty out another year. Here in the US the premium warranty is much less expensive than the Platinum warranty.

    Is Remco Konijnenberg an authorized Leica dealer? If he is, there should be no problem. Did you get a warranty card?

    Down hea in rural Georgia (US), if I had woke up to those strange deer and the big spotted kitty, I'd know that Bubba (neighbor) had cut his shine with too much antifreeze or the S2 needed a firmware upgrade.

    rgk replied to the topic M9 and S2… in the forum S2 13 years, 5 months ago

    In my opinion, there is only one reason to have both. It is impossible to get ones significant other to carry an S2. So when one tires of humping an S2, one switches to his M9. The SO will carry an M9… briefly.

    rgk replied to the topic is there a macro flash for the s2 in the forum S2 13 years, 6 months ago

    I think that fotografz is on the right 😀 track. I am thinking about getting the RRS macro ring and rack. The next problem will be the flash. If one mounts a pair of flashes on the RRS ring, could one fire them with a pocket wizard? What about hand holding the SF 58 and using the RC-S cable release?

    The view from the rural south…
    Most important is the indisputable fact that the S2 is simply the very best point and shoot that has ever been built. It is also the heaviest point and shoot ever built. The weight of the S2 means the the next upgrade has to be to the significant other (SO) who carries the rest of the kit. Most SOs will carry an…[Read more]

    I am looking at the Nikon R1C1. The kit includes a 72mm ring that should fit the 120mm macro. Before I buy it, i plan to ask the guys at Dale for their opinion.

    if you plan upon remaining friends with the couple, I suggest that you hire a pro to shoot the wedding. It is not possible to please everybody and your failure to do so will net you a bruised ego or worse. I think that pros know this and build into their fees a bruised ego and pita surcharge.
