Guys,
I have a few comments here. I think that my company and our reputation speaks for itself on this forum. We are not fanboys or have "obsessions" about gear. We try to educate ourselves first so that we can support and speak intelligently about the products in the marketplace, whether we sell it or not. Some know that we recently picked up the Leica line. This is highly unusual for us to have a line that we are not the experts on. This we admit upfront. I began in the LF world 20+ years ago and moved steadily into the MF world. Leica was not on my radar and never has been until now. With the introduction of the S2, it has spurred our interest as this product has the potential to be a crossover product into our commercial field. This significance is easily apparent.
With this said, we are experts in the field of high end digital capture. We are not a "jack of all trades" company. We do one thing and do it better than anyone else. And I strongly believe that I have assembled the best people in our industry as a part of the Capture Integration team. A company IS the people that represent it. Steve, Chris, Doug, and Karen are just stellar people and I am privileged to be associated with them. I apologize for this plug but I think that it is important to state where I am coming from before the rest of this post.
On Thursday, we will have a Leica Open house in my Miami office. Myself, Douglas, Chritian, Justin, and Roland will be there to answer your questions on anything Leica. We will have the S2 and the M9 for "real world" tests. We will have the usual models and refreshments but the signifiant part of this is that we will also have all of the following equipment:
Phase One P40+ and AF body
Phase One P65+ and DF body
Leaf Aptus II 10
Hasselblad H3DII 50
These are not borrowed pieces of gear. I own them. We use them. We know them.
Do you want to run a test? Do you want to leave with Raws? No smoke and mirrors, no agendas ,and no BS.
If you are in the area and would like to attend then we will love to see or meet you. If you would like to see any specific tests, please let me know and we will conduct them. Here is all the pertinent info:

Secondly, I hear a lot of questions being asked about the latest promotions from Phase One and their upgrade paths. If you would like any more specific info you can either click this link or contact me directly.

Again, I apologize if this comes off as a sales presentation post. I honestly do not mean it to be. I just wanted to let those who are interested in an unbiased presentation of all the high end products know that there is a place where that can happen.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans and Happy Thursday to everyone else!
