    Could you comment on the AF system using the OVF . It appears the same as the S 007 . Focus point is only the center ..predictive AF is still suspect . It is still a contrast detection auto focus system ?
    I understand the AF in LV and it was fine for my use but the OVF AF system needed work ?

    A few of use purchased the extended warranty for Leica on the S2 . This was done at the time we purchased the camera in my case January 2011. It was my understanding that the warranty was just one year . So I have assumed my warranty was up in January 2013 .

    Roger replied to the topic Where are the CS lenses? in the forum S Lenses 9 years, 6 months ago

    So it looks like only the original purchaser of a new lens from an authorized dealer will qualify ….seems reasonable . Maybe not as difficult a process as it looked at first glance . Great for the S2 owners .

    Now if they can just start supplying the lenses . 😎

    [QUOTE=fotografz;3753]Leica cannot make this their customer's problem. It is their problem, and they should solve it. If they wanted to limit the time-line, then they should have clearly and concisely done it up front, not after the fact.

    Roger replied to the topic Where are the CS lenses? in the forum S Lenses 9 years, 6 months ago

    The question is whats fair and responsive ? Leica clearly needs to extend the Sept10,2010 cut off ..not only because the CS lenses were not available ..but also because you could not get S lenses either .

    I would expect that they will try to draw a line someplace. Without a cut off you could just pick up a few used S lenses and trade…[Read more]

    Roger replied to the topic Where are the CS lenses? in the forum S Lenses 9 years, 6 months ago

    Here is my recommendation to Leica (for what its worth) .

    1. Establish a clear cut off date for lenses that can be upgraded . (sometime in 2011). This should account for the delay in getting any S lens and can be done as an extension of of the OCT 2010 deadline . Lens purchased after the date aren t covered .

    2. Would be desirable…[Read more]

    Roger replied to the topic Where are the CS lenses? in the forum S Lenses 9 years, 6 months ago

    As pointed out above Leica has gotten themselves into quite a jam with the delay of the CS lenses . If they provide the previously agreed upon trade in ..they will get a flood of new orders for the CS lenses . Would a good guess be one or two CS lenses for every S2 body sold? (this would also make the CS lenses essentially unavailable to any…[Read more]
