Advertisement Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Hi MarkP, Take a look here State of S . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MarkP Posted June 17, 2016 Share #142 Posted June 17, 2016 You need a backup Phase One system for when the S lenses are in for repairs ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicapages Posted June 17, 2016 Share #144 Posted June 17, 2016 That's disgraceful especially for a problem which Leica have acknowledged as a design/production fault. mine was shipped back to me within one week, so mileage clearly varies. Plus a loaner meanwhile. I'd call that excellent service. Deal directly with the customer service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted June 17, 2016 Share #147 Posted June 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) THat premiure package costs 4 grand....................frigging ridiculous The Leica Protection Plan (not separate 'pro' coverage) comes with the camera and includes loaner provision. The same can be purchased for lenses, and is subject to negotiation. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share #148 Posted June 17, 2016 My 70mm took 3 months, which is basically BS It is BS. Is there word on wether it gets fixed with a long term solution? or are the broken bits replaced with the same kind, and going to break again in the same way?

Apparently the old plastic AF motor gets changed out for a Titanium one......my 70 now works a treat. I did ask them if they could upgrade my Non CS lens to a CS lens for my troubles.........but they declined Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 17, 2016 Share #150 Posted June 17, 2016 Ive got one............ its called a Hasselblad 503CW and a iPhone Actually with the V to S adapter your backup is V lens on S007 ... Just use your feet to match angle of view ... Not perspective but close enough. Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Warwick Posted June 17, 2016 Share #151 Posted June 17, 2016 I'm curious to see if the rumored new Hassie on Weds changes my regard of what the S represents in terms of price vs IQ vs usability. No idea what is coming, we will see. Re the S lens repair, yes, I've also been informed that plastic gets replaced with metal, which potentially sounds reassuring if that's a long term solution.

Paul J Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share #152 Posted June 18, 2016 This is exciting - Here comes the Hasselblad Mirrorless Medium Format supposedly with the Sony 33x44 sensor from the 50c back. It's announced with a live stream on the 22nd. All eyes on Leica now too. Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest NEIL-D-WILLIAMS Posted June 18, 2016 Share #153 Posted June 18, 2016 I'm glad I decided to wait. Here comes the Hasselblad Mirrorless Medium Format supposedly with the Sony 33x44 sensor from the CFV-50c back. It's announced with a live stream on the 22nd. This is exciting. SH!T................this could potentially screw up my purchase of the S007. I wonder if it will be like the S007 launch and be available June 2017 :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it will be like the S007 launch and be available June 2017 :( If it is using the 50MP 33x44 sensor it could be for immediate release. If it's the 100MP sensor there will certainly be a delay. I'm guessing it's hot to trot and will be ready very soon judging on Hasselblads form lately.

Guest satrycon Posted June 18, 2016 Share #155 Posted June 18, 2016 hopefully it has M/SL mount adapters If it is using the 50MP 33x44 sensor it could be for immediate release.

I'm guessing it's hot to trot and will be ready very soon judging on Hasselblads form lately. Since Hasselblad is supposedly claiming the camera will feature a "unique aspect ratio", I'm kind of hoping for a 56x56 square (but I suspect it will be Xpan-like). We'll know in a few days.

sog1927 Posted June 20, 2016 Share #158 Posted June 20, 2016 no premium package in my case. Regular customer service. Just based on the anecdotal accounts here, it would seem that customer service is somewhat better for EU customers than for those located elsewhere. Of course, the sample size here is extremely small (and self-selected), so that observation might not be statistically valid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's announced with a live stream on the 22nd. All eyes on Leica now too. According to the teaser photo in the email Hasselblad sent me today, it seems to have a knob/dial on top ;-). As long as it's actually functional, I think that's a good thing. I am however, *not* going to be watching the livestream at 6AM my time - I'll wait and read all the spoilers after I've had a sufficient quantity of coffee.

rickgrainger Posted June 21, 2016 Share #160 Posted June 21, 2016 I am really hoping that Leica has a surprise or two up their sleeves for their S series at Photokina. Maybe an S-E Type 007 with no video features? The mythical wide tilt-shift lens? A 350mm telephoto S lens? A mirrorless Type 008? My crystal ball only shows me the Eye of Sauron these days.
