View Great review David! Seems like a lens worth having.

Arif replied to the topic Question about Auto Focus in the forum Leica S 10 years, 8 months ago
Similar to Jack and others, using the back button to set focus and recompose works well and fast (I use the same technique on my Nikon and it is faster than moving the focus cross hairs for me). Have not had any issues with the focus. Picking a good contrast area helps.

I like them as well. Good effort to try new things and a mix of the old.

CCD, I like the S as is but would like a little higher ISO 🙂

Very nice, seems like a fun project. I used the S2/120 in Burma on a hot air balloon ride and was quite happy with the results. Thanks again for sharing.

I have not had the chance yet except the first test done on a dull day.. I love the feel of this Lens with smooth zoom, balance and weight.
The results are superb and with 30mm just 1/2 stop over the fixed one the difference is not noticeable at full 100% on my Mac.

Thank you very much Alex. The file does look quite good and downsizing will help even more so quite workable. Please continue to advise of how you are finding the new S.

I'll post some that are “fair” to the camera. Most of what I have to date at ISO 1600 is with the Hassy 120 and I was a little too quick in stating that the adaptor worked better with the S. There is still an issue of recognising the lens.
Attached are some comparisons with the 30 mm S. Not world shattering…

The Hasselblad H lenses get along with the S2's sensor quite nicely.
The HC50/3.5-II, 100/2.2, and 150/3.2N are a particularly nice set of lenses to use with the Leica … dual shutter capable, good handling size for the S2, and all use the same 77mm filter size.

I am using with the 30-90 and the 100/2.2 with mixed results. Works well on the 30-90 but there are some misses on the 100 where I have to manually override.
