Thanks, but isn't it measured from the first lens surface in light direction? At least that's what they say for the M Lenses …

Hi Ed
Thanks for your post. Good to know. Leica CH says the new grip won't work on the S2, but can't (or won't) explain why. Fact is the new one is 730 CHF and the old one 1250 CHF. I will bring my S2 to the shop and will try here in Zurich. Nothing else to do. But thanks for your offer 🙂
Cheers
Peter

David
Why are you meeting with him? He's old news … It's the M10 project manager you need to talk to 😉

Please ask about when the 300mm S lens will be coming before I go out and buy a Hassy 300mm

Please ask about the S3 (use violence if necessary) 😉

Cheers

I used a rented S2 on a friends wedding recently. Absolutely amazing for outdoor shots (Bride to church, Exiting church , congratulation hugs and portraits) with the 120 and outdoor group pictures with the 35 and tripod. Stuck with the Nikon D3 for indoor shots incl inside the church, avoiding by this to having to use a flash at all except for very few exceptions (fill-flash). Covered a couple of street type situations before, during and after with the M9 and noctilux and 35 summilux.

The couple liked the result quite a bit… especially the group shots with 120 people on a single frame (35mm) and being able to blow up every single face razor sharp 🙂 and print on a huge poster

Liked the S2 so much, I ended up buying one … when there is lots of light, nothing beats the S2 … nothing

When there's little light and you need that special 3D look, go with the M9

When there's no light, go with the D3 😉 there is no substitute when you can take pictures on the dance floor with no flash …

Can't comment on the S2 with flash though … not so sure about the added value over a D3 …

Cheers

Hi There
I happen to have both and have tried. Doesn't seem to be working: can't get the flashes to fire. Neither in manual nor in TTL mode. Anything I'm missing?
Cheers
