Great shot Jack!

David, what is the W/s of the Move Pack when set to minimum power?

– Marc

Apparently those pining for a S f/2 portrait lens won't have to wait long.

Lightroom 5.5 now has a lens profile for a Leica SUMMICRON-S 1:2.0/100mm. A portend of what is to come at Photokina?

Can't imagine what that is going to cost, especially in CS version that I'd demand. At F/2 it will be the fastest S lens, and the DOF will probably…[Read more]

I'm very glad it worked out. I'm sure that was a huge sigh of relief. I haven't had that scenario with my S or previous S2 since I rarely shoot to cards – only tethered, but it's a good thing you found a solution. I've had that pit-in-the-stomach feeling once or twice and it's not been a pleasant thing. It's good to…

Up-Date:

LC Technologies was able to recover all the missing files.

While other recovery programs may have been able to do it, I just could not chance it … so I opted to send it off to the professionals and pay for the recovery in case it was a more difficult issue than I could deal with. They have the ability to crack open the CF card a…[Read more]

You could not recover any of the photos Vintola?

I'm looking for experiences where such a thing has happened, and there was some way to recover them.

This was a 32 gig Sandisk card purchased from B&H, so highly unlikely a counterfeit.

Frankly, hearing that Sandisk cards have failed on you like this is surprising and doesn't…[Read more]

Excellent work!

A bit more clarification:

The full featured Profoto AIR transceivers are called AIR Remote … meaning you can adjust the levels of the pack/mono-light and the modeling light of any unit with AIR remote receiver built-in (Profoto or Hensel).

The Profoto AIR Sync transceiver is for triggering only, and doesn't have the controls for a…[Read more]

LOL! It's a bit difficult to get my head around the practicality of LV on an S2 … then add in CS Leaf Shutters into the equation. It's even harder for me to figure out because I don't own any DSLR with a reflex mirror and LV. My Sony A99 is a SLT fixed translucent mirror with an EFV.

Holding a little RX1 out in front of your face is one t…[Read more]

Thanks for asking David.

Sadly, removing the battery overnight didn't solve the issue, and I am in contact with Kelsey Fains at Leica regarding next steps.

She is forwarding my description to Germany to see if there have been other instances of this.

If there is a solution, I will share it with the group so we can all…[Read more]

Thank you for doing that David.

I will try your suggestion tonight and report back.

I am also in contact with Leica USA … but will try this first.

Again, thank you!

Update:

Fiddling with the set-up, I pressed the two outer buttons to reset the SF58 … but held them down … reset flashed 3 times and then went out. I was then able to see TTL-HSS in the menu selection and select it.

Sounds good until I saw that the lens f/stop was still not matching that of the camera nor the ISO, so everything gro…[Read more]

Thanks for looking David.

You've written that your S2P firmware is version 1.0.4.2.

The newest S2 firmware version (which I had loaded around December or January) is listed on the Leica site as: update version 1.3.0.0

V1.3.0.0 is listed as adding support for the 45/2.8 (CS) that I am trying out. So I confirmed what firmware was in…[Read more]
