peterv Posted January 14, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been trying to reach the S-League website, but most pages do not load on my Mac. At first I thought this might be a Safari-flash-thing, but Chrome does not load them either. S-League The front page works, but from there the 'photographers' and 'assignments' pages do not load at all, or only partly. I really would have thought LFI/S-League Magazine would take care of this, but no, it has been like this for weeks now. In 2013 the news-section was not updated for months in a row. As for the Magazine itself, I understand they want to use it as a showcase for the targeted market section, mainly fashion photography, but I think we can see so much of that kind of photos in so many magazines already, the choice for mainly fashion doesn't add or bring anything new to the table. As an S2 owner I'd personally like to see more articles like the one written about the development and technique behind the central shutter and especially the excellent photo reportage of New Orleans by Jonathan Mannion.

Advertisement Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Hi peterv, Take a look here S-League Website and Magazine. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wattsy Posted January 14, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 14, 2014 Yes, the website does seem to have some problems. Leica seem to have identified the fashion market (and, judging by the sameness of most of what is featured, a particular "techno/Euro/German" sub-sector of that market) and appear to be concentrating their marketing efforts there. Hasselblad's Victor magazine, though better, also suffers from a kind of bland fascination with the mainstream fashion market. I wouldn't expect to see much in the way of reportage in these magazines but there is a significant high-end editorial market out there (e.g. travel and lifestyle publications), a genre for which the S system is very well suited.

mjh Posted January 14, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 14, 2014 I've been trying to reach the S-League website, but most pages do not load on my Mac. At first I thought this might be a Safari-flash-thing, but Chrome does not load them either. I had tried to reproduce the issue after I had read your post and indeed the individual pages didn’t fully load (regardless of the browser used), but now they do. While I have no idea what the issue was, it appears to have been fixed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterv Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks Michael, the problem still exists though. I've tried it on iPad, MBP and MacPro, in Safari and Chrome. Even on a Windows machine with Internet Explorer and Chrome. The 'photographers' and 'assignments' pages do not load as they should. example: SCRIPT_PAGE_TITLE_CAMPAIGN_END Here's what I see on every machine in every browser: Welcome, dear visitor!

peterv Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted January 14, 2014 I wouldn't expect to see much in the way of reportage in these magazines but there is a significant high-end editorial market out there (e.g. travel and lifestyle publications), a genre for which the S system is very well suited. Exactly, that's the market I'm (trying to be) in. Though I like well produced fashion photography as much as the next guy/girl, that's not the only genre the S system can be utilized in. The Rankin issue, for example, was interesting maybe as a collectors item for Rankin fans, for me it wasn't very informative.

mjh Posted January 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted January 14, 2014 Ah, I see, now it’s broken again. It’s not just that some of the images won’t load – the layout is completely broken (the CSS isn’t applied). Strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought this might be a Safari-flash-thing, but Chrome does not load them either. S-League The front page works, but from there the 'photographers' and 'assignments' pages do not load at all, or only partly. There’s something fishy about that link. Try this one instead: S-League. It has a single "/en/" in its path whereas your link has "/en/en/"; that makes all the difference. The developers are still investigating how this "/en/en/" (or sometimes "/de/en/") could crop up in the first place, but once your URL is infected by it you won’t get rid of it easily. Start with s-league.net, switch to the English version with the link at the foot of the page, and everything should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted January 15, 2014 Share #8 Posted January 15, 2014 Trailing slash does it. S-League will open the correctly working page, S-League will open the broken one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how I got the faulty address. I remember vaguely that I had arrived at the German version of the site, switched to English and than bookmarked that page.
