Recently (6 months ago) I started shooting models (pretty girls) and up until now I have been using my Nikon D800 and 55mm Otus and sometimes have tried to get some nice shots with my Leica M gear but with mixed results. With my Nikon gear I have had some fantastic results which got me thinking about getting a Medium Format camera, as a few of my mates that also shoot models are using MF cameras.
I have been looking at the Hasselblad H5D 50c and the Pentax 645z and quit a few of the MF forum members in the UK and US mentioned the Leica S as a better allrounder as I can not only use it in the Studio but also in the field where I really like to take my models.
Anyway my mate in KL is the owner of the Starhill Leica store and he has a new Leica S with a 70mm Summicron (I think thats what it is) which would be a nice walk around lens and I would also get the 120mm for my portraiture stuff............I would plan to trade in all my M gear.
For those of you that know me on here you will now that I have had a love hate relationship with my M gear and really struggle with the rangefinder due to diminishing eyesight. Anyway when I get home in one weeks time I might be the owner of a new Leica S system
