Nick Rains replied to the topic Google: The Best Camera In The World in the forum Leica S 12 years, 2 months ago
One of the constant themes in web discussions is that no-one can really get a sense of what images from cameras like the S-System actually look like. Web images are way too low-res.
If anyone wants to see a little more of Leica's image quality beyond that available on websites, I have a new (free) iPad app just released called Photique which…[Read more]
Nick Rains replied to the topic 30mm Sample Image in the forum S Lenses 13 years ago
The firmware upgrade has improved the focus of the 30mm to the point where it is very accurate in most, but not all, circumstances.

Nick Rains replied to the topic S2 and Nikon D800E in the forum S2 13 years ago
Judging by the few D800 samples on the net, the sensor is quite lens-limited. There might be 36megapixies or so but, from what I see so far, the lenses are not able to resolve to it's full potential.

I have the new split prism screen in my S2 and love it. Not sure when it's going to be available but it should be real soon now…three weeks ago I was told it would be announced ‘in a few weeks'!
