The update installs with no issues as far as I am concerned. Still no improvement on the recognition of the Hassy adaptor which is still a little bit hit and miss …

Dear all

Very hard to say.

The real need is high ISO, but the reality is that the S2/3 will never challenge the D800E or the D4.

Long lenses? But again, MF will never really come into competition with 35 mm.

For me the killer development would be a genuine 1:1 macro lens. I bought into the system inter alia for the macro…[Read more]

As to the price tag, look at it this way: Leica S2 is a system, which makes 35mm SLR unnecessary for the most part. So, there is no need to maintain two systems. It really saves you 10-15 grand, depending on your lens lineup.
Even for those who shoot wildlife and sports, all you need is one 35mm SLR body and a 300/2.8…

Of course, if there were an adaptor to mount S2 lenses on the D800 ;););)

And another from yesterday. Slight correction to the perspective in CS5.

I am happy … Collecting mine tomorrow

I got mine at random. Although on order for several months, I happened to walk into a Leica store in Zuerich and they had received one from Solms that morning. Needless to say, its residence time “in stock” was very low.

however, does anyone know why there is a extra smaller tab on it compared to the other screens..probably a simple answer but I can't figure it out right now.

I'd like to know that as well … Btw the microprism screen is fantastic for macro

And a Happy New Year from Basel.

Thanks to David and Josh for their initiative in this community.

Yes there is that ……..

My S2-P came with a displaced screen. Easy job to put it back in place with surgical tools. To avoid scratching I simply gave the tips of the tweezers a spray with Teflon before use.

If Solms will send me a micro prism screen I will repeat the exercise (hint!!! On order for a long time now :-))

I usually use MF or do the same as Marc

Ed

I use a Tamrac Boomerang for the S2 the same as fir the D3x. Comfortable and strain-free at the back. Like Queen Elizabeth 1st and her bath, I replace the strap once per year whether it needs it or not

I'm curious if Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX would work in Manual mode on the S2…. any S2 users have one laying around?

I confirm that the R1C1 does not…[Read more]

Don't flame David. He did thereal hard work in finding therelevant part of the manual ….. Which is not the easiest job in the world.

I can confirm that it all works just like the book says.

I confirm what IceMan has found. I cannot get this same combination to fire.
