Looks for me like an S2.1.
Wait a few more days and you will have more options. If you like it or not. 😉
But in general it is about your preferences. For myself I do not want to go wider as 30mm on the S2. Even if a 24mm on the S2 is interesting. But if you like to have something wider. Wait for the 24. You could also get rid of the 35 and 70 to buy the 30-90mm.
More options make life more complicated. :p
Hi Armin,
I was surprised when I read this the first time, but kept it in mind for the next shooting, which I had a few days ago. I used the S2 tethered with LR4 and did not experienced the problems you described.
I do not have the comparison between a Hasselblad and their Phocus Software but the experience I had with capturing with a Phase into C1 is similar to the experience I have now with the S2 and LR4. I do not needed to restart my computer or whatever. I also edited some pictures in between with Photoshop and had no problems at all.
There is a lag between capturing and seeing the files on screen, but I guess this is a normal thing and you can not really avoid it. But the question is, how long is the lag you had?
Maybe the cable you have used has some problems? Guessing…
Cheers.
Very impressive in many aspects.
Hey. Thanks. 🙂
Best is to let Leica do the sensor cleaning or at least a Leica dealer who offers sensor cleaning.
What I do regulary is to use Giottos Large Super Rocket-Air Blower to clean the sensor, holding the camera front down. This keeps the dust and dirt from getting stuck to the sensor and therefore beomce permanent and only removable by a propper cleaning. I achieve really good results by doing so and still have a clean sensor for a couple of month. Important is to use a big blower to have enough air for a proper circulation in the camera. Small ones are not doing the job, especially on the big sensor.
Cheers,
PeteMichael, good to have you here. You are definitely an enrichment of this place. 😉
Michael, really great images. Good stuff. Film still rules. 😉
Really great work Kurt. My compliments.
Please keep us posted. I'm really interested to see the results of your pictures when the Painter has done his work.
Nice. The light in the 3rd shoot is pretty nice and I prefer them compared to the stacked one.
Totally agree with Jack.
I heard some S3 rumors for quite some time now, but I did not heard anything which will let me spent money for a S3. Only minor improvements and therefore I'm not that sure that there will be a S3 in the next couple of months.
When I bought the S2 I was sure that this is the camera I could work with for the rest of my live and this is still true. In general I do not need and do not want to have all the other functions and buttons. It's a Leica, it is simple and awesome. Just for me the camera could stay like it is. Leica should continue to optimize and improve the firmware and to extend the system. (I really would love to see a 350mm 3.5! – the only thing I'm really missing.)
I would appreciate, as all of us, better ISO performance, thats all. Would I by a new camera for that? No way!
But truth to be told. There will be a S3 sooner then later and the changes will be minor. I think this is a camera-market rule, as there are not that many people who invest into “old” gear. So Leica has to do something. But if they release such a S3, they will have a hard time, as in my opinion people expect more than a few minor upgrades in this league.
So I hope for Leica that they will wait another year and release something bigger. Bigger sensor, faster AF, Live View, better ISO performance plus an upgrade path. That would get all the attention it diserves.
But then we are back to the truth to be told… 😉
We'll see…

In order to properly display on iPads (yes even Retina iPads) and other mobile devices, I recently changed Red Dot Forum to a fixed width layout.
If you upload to the site using the Manage Attachments button, the software will generate a 550px wide image for your post and link to the full-size original in a new tab. If you link to an image URL it will cut off if larger than 600px wide.
Good to know. Thanks.
Thanks guys.
Jack, you got me. 😉
BTW are you seeing only a part of the image and have to scroll to see the rest? I thought linking to a picture will extend the post width? But it does not here. Next time I will upload them again.
Thanks Bobby.
When I tested the M9M the amazing thing was that even meetering into a pretty bright city sky, there was no clipping in the shadows and you could bring the shadows (house roofs/walls) easily back in pp with a nice film lookalike grain. And vica-versa metering at the houses there was no clipping in the bright sky and easily getting back the texture of the clouds in pp. As said, pretty amazing. 🙂
I have to admit, even if this it not a thread about the S2, that I do not use the ETTR method on the S2 as well…
Nice! 🙂
