Check our our newest article examining the upcoming Microprism Focusing Screen for the Leica S2:
That looks awesome. I can’t imagine a focusing screen that appears brighter than the current matte screen. Plus you get the microprisim. Sign me up. This should become the default screen that ships with new S2s.
I agree, it looks great. Looking forward to using it. Thanks for posting.
I have the screen since yesterday in the camera and it is amazing. It feels like back in good old non-AF SLR days. I am amazed how precise the screen works. Focusing manually is so smooth, even when you have something far far away the screen supports excellent focusing abilities. On top of this when using AF it shows you perfectly if the spot you want to have in focus, is in focus.
Go get it. 🙂
Was not aware they were shipping yet…but glad to hear they are. I had a chance to play with one briefly on the fall foliage trip but David wasn’t giving it up without a fight 🙂 The one issue I want to resolve is whether you can accurately focus something that’s in, say, the corner of the screen…as opposed to putting the microprism on that subject matter and then recomposing. In general I have no problem with focus/recompose but when I’m shooting with the camera locked down on a tripod it can be a hassle.

I am jealous Pete. David Farkas’s will be getting more than one call I suspect.
