got it today... comes without instructions how to change...
Yes its really very usefull. Leica has announced them since weeks.. now its available..I've enjoyed my S2 and have thought about this accessory so am awaiting some opinions.
Marc,Since we're talking about accessories ...
I was just doing my last test of working methods with the S2 ... this time using portable strobes, and thought I'd share my set up ... not everyone shoots Landscapes or just available light
This is one of my go-to solutions for location portrait work especially in dark interiors, at weddings and events, or functions. Also use it to light balance outdoors with brighter backgrounds.
Basically directional main provided by an Elinchrom Quadra and various light modifiers ... and TTL or manual fill with the SF58 in the hot shoe. I use a Kirk Grip with a Arca type QR and mount the radio unit on the grip with a sync cord to the S2 sync port. Very sturdy set-up, and the Grip combined with the hand-strap makes it easy to hold steady when dragging the shutter in low ambient light.
Testing complete, works like a charm.

Kurt,Marc,
Very interesting set-up. Any idea of what the cost might be for all of the components combined. I'm trying to get my head around portable lighting solutions. Thanks much.

And what about the Profoto BatPac?:IMO, the ultimate battery kit for power and portability is the Lithium battery driven 2 head Hensel Porty 1200.
The BatPac is a lead based battery inverter to power existing Profoto mono-heads or Acute generator packs on location. The Hensel is a self-contained Lithium battery powered generator with its own outlets for two EH Pro-Mini heads.
