    Thanks Josh, Looking forward to the new Image shuttle review 😀

    If at all possible would love to see a beauty shot with studio flash at 100 ISO or if that is to logistically impractical a standard clean ambient portrait w/120mm or 180mm to help judge skin tones would be very much appreciated!

    I'm extrapolating that at the original base level amplification of ISO 100 not only will we see cleaner noise/grit free images but this should contribute to a higher-res 3D ‘pop' to beauty work 😉

    Along with the refined ergonomics, faster focusing, GC WB function (I use this feature religiously), clearer LCD screen, larger buffer=improved processing/write speeds, UDMA7 1000x compatibility, easy to navigate joystick menu/image navigation combined with 3rd party lens options, except for the tethered speed issue, this ticks 9 out of 10 boxes for me.

    I'll be watching Leica S user reviews over the next few weeks very closely, I think I'm just about at the tipping point…..a slight breeze may be all that it takes to have me toppling over the edge into Leica land exaltation :p

    Would love to hear a review of the new Leica image shuttle software and if there are any tethered improvements?

    I'm currently looking at a Desktop with maximum tethered speed & image processing in mind….hopefully this will help alleviate any bottleneck issues with LR 4.3 in this regard

    Core i7 3930K@4.5Ghz – water cooled CPU
    32GB RAM
    240GB SSD – Boot
    240GB SSD – Cache
    NVidia GeForce GTX670 GPU

    I'm keenly waiting on your review, I feel my resistance slowly slipping away, there may be the possibility of a new ‘S' in my life very soon

    Shooting tethered is not what it should be like ! I usually use Hasselblad's phocus and its smooth, the adjustment settings are easy to use and the image comes in fast ready to be reviewed on the screen . With the Leica and Lightroom combo it's slow, the image needs to be rotated if shot in portrait , again slow and if you use it for half an hour or so it's so slow you have to restart the program . Come on that can't be it , can it ?

    So Leica is great , but software wise I think they have to look into writing a better code to control the camera via Lightroom .

    Hhhhmmmm, I was very close to pulling the trigger on a used S2 but the tethered speed issue is a deal breaker.

    David Farkas or anyone else have a chance to test/review the new Leica S tethered speed at the Leica S-Studio at Photo Plus Expo :confused:

    I'm very sorry Norman to hear of your concerns regarding the overseas dealer, I hope that Leica will address your issues directly & concisely! do you have the Platinum service option?

    I too am considering buying a Leica S2P (demo model) from a foreign dealer as this will save me $15,000 NZD :p

    Can I assume that because I'm buying the bundled Platinum Warranty from a reputable US Dealer I do not have to worry about any issues similar to poor Norman?

    I'm assuming should I need servicing I can just go to my local Leica distributor (Lacklands) and show them the Platinum warranty for support? or am I being rather naive :confused:

    Any help/advice would be deeply appreciated 😎

    P.S. Apologies Norman didn't mean to hijack your thread 😮
