    Thinking about the Hassi XCD2 plus 2-3 lenses

    I am not sure whether I simply "suffer" from GAS or not. I am a long-term shooter of the Leica S (currently the S007) and have almost all lenses, including the zoom (which is the lens I use most). I also have the M10-R (plus several lenses), and recently got a Canon R6ii (mostly for wildlife...

    Please help! Card issue with Canon R6ii

    I purchased a Canon R6ii this summer. Generally quite happy. I use to Angelbird V60 128 GB Av Pro cards. Both worked fine the first time around. After the first use, I formatted both in camera. Within 10 days, I received for both cards a message that the camera cannot access the card, that the...

    Filtersystem for MF

    Hi. I am in the process of buying a filter system for my S007. In particular, a 6 stop ND as well as 3 stop soft, hard, and reverse GND. I am leaning towards the Haida M15 system. Does anyone have experience with that system? How useful do you think pol filters are for landscape (I have...

    Processing images on the road

    What do you guys use to do basic image processing and storage while on the road? Specifically, when you are traveling (very) light. When on the road by car I typically used my Mac Book Pro. But I now have a couple of trips coming up where I want to travel very light and where the Mac Book is...

    How do you clean your S sensor

    Despite my best efforts (switching the camera off before lens change, holding it down while changing lenses, keeping the back lens of the lenses clean, avoiding changing lenses in the dust etc.), the sensor becomes dirty and requires cleaning. I just wonder what is the best procedure. My...

    Best way to clean front element of a lens

    I should know this by now but I don't. I took the S with the zoom out for a walk on the beach. Very windy day. There is a bit of a very light film on the front element of the zoom lens. Basically the salt that was in the air. How would you remove that? Wipe with a lightly humid lens cloth...

    FS: Leica S2 + cable release

    I am selling my trusted Leica S2. I bought it in February 2011 from a Leica dealer in Germany. I am a hobbyist and not a professional, and the camera has only about 14,000 actuations. The camera accompanied me to various locations around the world (North America and Canada, Asia, South...

    Optimum exposure

    I came across this article on LuLa about optimum exposure. Basically what it says is to expose so that the brightest point of the scene is 99.5% white in the raw file and then correct in post production by bringing down exposure. Thus, if you photograph a black cat on a black carpet you would...

    Lee Big Stopper

    When I use the Lee Big Stopper (on the Leica S2), it screws up the white balance and colors. I tried to correct it but without success. Colors are always somewhat unnormal. Do others have similar experiences and ideas how to deal with this? Thanks.

    Anyone tried the new Mac Pro?

    I am tempted but wonder how much fast it is than the latest 15" MBP with 16 GB RAM and what the best configuration would be for photo work (including MFD).

    Filter system on 30-90 and 24 mm for the S/S2

    Last year, we had a discussion on the use of the Lee filter system on the 30-90 mm in this thread. Main issue: Lee does not produce a 95 mm ring. Some suggested to use the Scheider adapter ring. I just wondered whether anyone has any new experience since then. I now also have the 24 mm and...

    External monitor on Mac Book pro

    External drives for MBP retina - Options?

    I know there a lot of Mac experts out here and so I hope to get some good advice. Background I am not a pro and don't make my living with photography, but I am what you could call a serious hobbyist. My image library is just north of 1 TB. I shoot M9, MM, and S2. Until last month, I did...

    S/S2 and studio flash

    I have very little (actually close to no) studio experience. However, I wanted to use the S2 for some studio portraits. I don't have the CS lenses, so I understand that the lowest shutter speed that I can use is 1/125th. Now here is my question: How do I avoid motion blur when shooting with...
