Hi everyone, I have an S2 and wanted to buy a Cs lens for my outdoor portraits.

I use an Elinchrom Ranger Quadra set with A-Head, does anyone knows if there are any problems using the Cs Shutter with the A-Head?

 

Thanks in advance

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I am looking at getting exactly the same. The Action Head is the right version to get, not the HS. You should be able to sync at 1/180 with CS or 1/125 with the normal shutter

No experience with the Quadra but I can highly recommend the Elinchrom ELB 1200 and yes, the Action head is the one to go for (for any camera with leaf shutter lenses). If you get only the Pro head as part of the kit, it also works perfect in 99% of situations (unless you want to freeze fast movement at any power setting, basically). The Quadra system should work perfectly by analogy.
