Ah well, I guess we'll just have to "wait and see":ROTFL:The issue is their history. They are a good and honest company and will most certainly make it right EVENTUALLY. But how long will it take, and how many times will I really need to send it in to get it there? That is the issue that will keep people that are historic early adopters to stand by on the sidelines and "wait and see," and I'm not sure Leica has the luxury of surviving a wait-and-see market for the S2...
The Premium Service includes:I think you get a standard 12 month warranty like anything else the premium warranties are advanced loaner swaps and such like Phase does with there 3 year value added which gets you overnight loaners and expedited repairs. I think Leica pretty much copied that idea but we also need to see the specs on this in writing as well.
Agree totally, a loss-leader body is not a good profit strategy and they have to make a profit to remain viable. And we need them viable to effect the repairs :ROTFL:Ah well, I guess we'll just have to "wait and see":ROTFL:
Certainly, I don't think their best option was to pump bodies out of the door at a loss in the first instance.
didn't follow the topic but I think I remember there are some very annoyed users waiting for live preview in the new H3D2 backs... ?The P65+ didn't. The P40+ didn't. Nor did the P22+ or P30+ or P45+ before them. Nor did any of the Hassy DBII series AFAIK.
Right, because the timetable to getting the rest of the lenses out for the system, even if we give them the big margins there, is insufficient to keep them viable to effect repairs:ROTFL:Agree totally, a loss-leader body is not a good profit strategy and they have to make a profit to remain viable.

I was asked two weeks ago if I wanted my name thrown in the hat. That's all I know at this pointRe Beta testers --- there probably were, and all three of them were probably Leica employees. rolleyes: ) And that is likely the issue with the historic undiscovered problems in the DMR and M8...
Was that for beta testing or their new ****list :ROTFL::ROTFL:I was asked two weeks ago if I wanted my name thrown in the hat. That's all I know at this point
But some places charge $4K for it. Find the right dealer and you get a deal maybe.Thanks Charlie the Phase Value added is 3k
Not sure what Hassy promised, but Phase never did to my knowledge other than tethered. It is a technical issue that prevents viable, live preview via LCD with CCD sensors. Much easier to incorporate with CMOS sensors. What they can do, is give you a live view *tethered* for CCD because they can crank the post sensor gain way up to get to a (almost) usable onscreen computer image -- but pretty much it's never going to happen with CCD sensors being viewed usably on the back's LCD.didn't follow the topic but I think I remember there are some very annoyed users waiting for live preview in the new H3D2 backs... ?
If Phase and Hassy constantly refuse to incorporate new features there is hardly something that can fail... (though to be fair: the implementation of Sensor + went without flaws as well, right?)
You're the last person that will get a Beta S2! My new nickname for you is "If it can be broken I'll find a way Mancuso" :ROTFL:I was asked two weeks ago if I wanted my name thrown in the hat. That's all I know at this point
:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL: You know they won't send me one and certainly not holding my breath but who better than me.You're the last person that will get a Beta S2! My new nickname for you is "If it can be broken I'll find a way Mancuso" :ROTFL:
Carsten, all,Have you read the DNG spec? DNG provides for whatever you want. Of course, if someone writes special fields, a generalized processor will not be able to take advantage of it, but this is even more the case with proprietary formats.
I'm confused. I have two Phase backs both came with 1 year classic warranty and each came with double-bay battery chargers, I got the LCC plate for free (goodwill) and (at least assured verbally... and I have no reason not to trust them) I get a loaner during repair (maybe not the exact same model but something similar...).Classic Warranty Kit
