I am too! It's been about 30 years since I visited the Everglades... I am already trying to figure out when I can go back...
Dave,t-streng,GMB,Dave, I saw them too and I am pretty sure these are two hikers.
Are we right CEH?
Gary,Hi CEH,
I love your images! I especially like this one with the warm and cozy looking cabin lit up in the lower left corner and the distant city lights. Very nice. Did you climb before sunrise to get high up for day break? These are a beautiful series.
Great Images! Gary P
Wow, the S2 not only has great resolution, but facial recognition too, at impossibly great distances! It allowed CEH to identify those two black dots on the horizon as her aquantences .Dave,t-streng,GMB,
Those two small black dots are my friends who decided to take photos from that hill...
A combination of availability and it being very close in focal length to the Hassy/Zeiss 110/2 which I already own and can use with an adapter. I've always found this lens to be very good for portraits... not so sure about the 120mm.Is it a question of availability or did you all skip 120 for 180?
For porrait stuff the 120 could be a nice option, with being a little faster and haveing that nice close focusing distance.
It's a Red-tailed Hawk... As I was cloning out the dust spots out of the background at 100%, I noticed the hawk at the top of the highest peak ... I didn't notice him in the full-size shot....

It's actually amber and not brown, but it's easy to mistake that. You're right about the blue one, however... with gold flecks.With one blue eye and one brown
Since I haven't lived with the S2 for a long time yet I can't speak definitively to this, but basically what you have outlined is the whole premiss I used when evaluating the S2 system.Impressive detail...
So here I come with another question in my never ending process to decide for the S2.
How much/often do you get along fine with the S2 for day to day use as the one main system (besides maybe a M9 when size or higher ISO is a concern).
Would you also use the S2 in your private environment for images of family, vacation etc?
How much can it replace a DSLR? (The areas where I would see the DSLR in advantage are higher ISO combined with faster lenses, and of course lighter and smaller lenses -> action, sports, low light) I would keep my DSLR with few lenses for those things but wondered how you get along with the overall bulk of the S2 lenses?
I would want to make sure the S2 would be a camera system I would use a lot and carry often even for casual shooting. Any experience?
