Hi there,
Have a fantastic offer in hands to buy a Leica S2 + 70.
Do I need it ? nop. But I always wanted to try MF and this seems a dream come true : I'm streching a bit the financials, but when can you buy a S2+lens+ extras for 10.000 euros and it comes with warranty still running ?
Made my research and from my 29.000 photos that I took in the last 3 years of the M9, I was shocked to discovered few things :
- 80% of the pictures are up to ISO 320, while the majority are at 160 so the low iso range of the S2 should be OK
- 70% are with the 50mm. and I always thought that I was a 35mm FL lenght
Anyway, long story cut short : how is the S2 with Pentax / Mamiya lens ? specifically WA ? This is my christmas gift to myself and have the OK of the Mrs .) But the thing is, I wont be able to buy a S lens for the next months ; so the ideas was to add a couple of lens : Pentax 67 and Mamiya via an adapter, specifically for 2 things : macro and WA. I know the Pentax 67 100 Macro is superb on the S2, but havent seen any WA or nearWA 3rd party lens on the S2 - why ? I know the 35 and 30mm S lens are superb, but... they are out of my reach for a few months. So I would like to buy a couple 3rd party lens, while getting money to a full fledged 30mm S lens.
Pictures, recommendations please ?
Best,
GP
