+1 Beautiful shots guys. Hope to add some of my own when mine comes back from service.
@Doug This kit was made for you. I haven't seen anything else out there that can do better for your kind of photos.
Ditto.
A R10 with AF lenses at a bit of a premium to Canon/Nikon Pro model bodies would have solved all my problems.
Instead we get a "Sultan of Brunei" priced S2. :angry:

Rob, I´m wondering if you have seen (photographed) some of the winter Olympics? It would have been nice to be in that inaugural ceremony with a camera.

Just went through some pages here and the DMR images are still the best I have seen besides MF.
Color and contrast and detail is just so rich compared to other cams.
I think it just was such a bad bad bad idea from Leica to not develop a digital R10 but the S2 instead.
Maybe they understand it one day - IMO every further day they waste with the S2 is lost money. Downsize the S2 as fast as possible to an R10 which takes the old Leica R lenses and then step by step offer AF lenses.

Excellent point, Tom.
I hope someone points Leica in the direction of this thread.

I watched lots of Olympics on the TV, but they were on the other coast of Canada from me.
I am on vacation in Florida for the next week or so and have the DMR with me. Working on getting David K out for a shoot while I am here.

I got to handle the S2 at Dale Labs earlier this week. I would be happy if the R version was the same size, as it felt smaller and lighter than my DMR with a 35-70mm f2.8 on it.
BTW, David Farcas was kind enough to lend me a M8 charger while I am here, as I forgot to bring mine. That is the type of service you get from good dealers. I haven't even bought anything from him yet!

I also just visited David Kipper when I was in Orlando. It took about 3 hours drive to him but it was worth it to see an old friend. David is also a great fan of the DMR. Today I decided to take the DMR out for my shooting session. This is one of the image from today work .

Son, good to see you shooting the DMR, it's still a wonderful camera especially if paired with the right lenses. This is a friend of my daughter's who I've known since she was a little girl. Not such a little girl anymore. This shot taken with the Angenieux 70-210. A little extra "glam" treatment because it was for her boyfriend

Was the B&W shot with the 35-70mm f2.8?
BTW, I have my DMR here with me in Florida too. Didn't bring any big glass like your 180mm f2 though.

Exhibition
Hello Everyone!
I have several of my favourite DMR images displayed as part of an exhibition entitled "Once Upon A Time in Asia" in the "Our City Otautahi Art Gallery" in Christchurch, New Zealand between March 24 and April 20 2010.
If you happen to be in this part of the world, feel free to drop by! Everyone is welcome, and entry is free!
This one was taken by Lake Tekapo in the early hours of one chilly morning using a 19mm Elmarit (first version).
Best regards
JAMES

Robert,
Yes you nailed it, the B&W image was shot with the Leica Vario-Elmarit-R 2.8/35-70 that I just acquired. I really enjoy using this lens and it is becoming my favorite lens to use. I may have to cut the mirror of the 5D mark II to use it with the Canon sensor. I think you have this lens with you now in FLorida. I hope your vacation is a great one with your family and many great images as well.
Best Regards,
Son

Great image and post processing as well. You are getting really good at the technique. The girl is lovely too by the way.

Son
