Haven't heard a peep about this camera and lens system. :wtf:
I wonder if it's related to the down turn in MFD prices, exchange rate, and generally horrible economy? What bad luck for a company that could use some.
Anyone know anything?
Generally speaking I find professional photographers to be careful, considered and conservative when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets to pay for equipment. This is the real world, not the world of merchant bankers* and wealthy dentists.No offense to anyone's opinion, but it really is "just business" more than at any other time in my long photographic career ... currently, indulgence is a word ripped out of my personal dictionary.
Well, the only thing I REALLY care about is a M9. Full frame 16 meg or so. And a M7 with the new whisper quiet 1/4000th shutter in it. I'd pop for the latter in a NY nano second. How hard could that be to do?Marc, you might want to change the title to: so, where is Leica?
You may want to join the Facebook campaign to have 'James Blunt' officially recognised as Cockney Rhyming Slang...*As a Cockney, the one good thing that I've witnessed to come out of this recession is the Cockney Rhyming Slang term "Merchant Banker" being shortened to just "Banker" and now being in widespread use

Yes, with the S2 you can switch between leaf shutter (if you are using a CS lens) and focal plane shutter. There is a switch on the back, to the left of the viewfinder that has three positions: Off, CS, FPS. So, you get fast flash sync with leaf shutter or 1/4000th of a sec for using lenses wide open at f/2.5 in sunlight without ND filters, in one camera. This is one of the real advantages of the S2.Does anyone know if CS lenses can be operated with the focal plane shutter a la Hasselblad CF lens?
