I learned photography on a FED-3, moving to a Nikon F2AS, and thence to a couple of M6 Leicas. I sold my cameras at the end of the last millennium, getting by with disposables and digital point-and-shoots, until buying into the S2 system three years ago. My shoots are split evenly between amateurish product photography with two Broncolor A2L kits and Ringflash C, and aggressive available light and SF58 work in hostile outdoor environments. At this point, I have no use for a rangefinder camera of any kind. My only wish is for a more robust S camera, e.g. made with chrome-finished brass components.

This is not as reassuring as it might be with a report of remaining Kodak sensor stock at Solms.

I believe this is because Leica did not have the lens available to test…although the lens in the above images (which belongs to us) has been loaned to Leica Germany by us so hopefully they will be able to make a profile for it.
Thanks for your clarification. In view of the cost of the items in question, is there any chance of an official statement from Leica?
Thanks for your response, Josh. The warranty on my S2-P expires in a few days. Please clarify any options I have for extending it.
Any idea why Leica appears not to support this lens on the new M?

Is it for sale?
