Hi Peter,Here are some shots I have taken in Feb while beeing in Namibia. I wanted to find out if the S2 can go for wildlife. All shots were taken with a LEICA APO-TELYT-R 1:2.8 280MM on the S2.
Thanks. I thought about the Zeiss in the first place but it is much harder to get and more expensive. As this was a test I wanted to keep an eye on the investment. But the main problem is still the same, to keep the combo sturdy, whether you have AF or not.Very nice photos and interesting (and for me relevant) write-up.
Spectacular images Bob!Went to the Vintage Flying Museum in FW this morning and brought back a few pictures....all ISO 800 on a monopod...very low light in the hanger.
Leica S Typ 006 70 2.5 CS
Thanks,
Bob
Those guys came back with a much different view of life and the world than is prevalent today...our world would be much changed had they not sacrificed as they did.Spectacular images Bob!
My late father was a B-29 tail gunner in the Pacific theater toward the end of WWII. So, these images are quite meaningful to me.

Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers makes the case for the ultimate success of an individual being dependent upon our families' culture sacrifice and history...their sacrifices underpin our subconscious worldview and our ability to adapt to the social/moral constructs and financial/work stresses that we must endure and overcome.Yeah, he never talked much about it.
As a kid, I recall rummaging through a big chest in the attic, and found a couple of Bomber caps; one tan and one black, which I assume were for daylight and nighttime. That is when I was told by my Uncle that Dad was a tail gunner in a B-29.
Down in the bottom of the chest was a Purple Heart medal. He never said a thing.
After the War he became a Detroit Firefighter, provided for six kids, and was a fireman until he retired due to on the job injuries.
Some acts are hard to follow.
