Best not to think about the cost of SL 400mm f2.8 APO with stabilisation (not to mention a 400+ mm prime for a mirrorless S4). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenedp Posted September 12, 2023 Share #86 Posted September 12, 2023 I had two GFX cameras between 2017 and 2022. A 50s and a 100. The lenses were ok -and definitely cheaper than Leica S lenses-, but Ok does not mean “as good”. The Leica lenses are better. And the blue ring Schneiders for the Phase, too. I am curious about the 30 t/s, though. If there was an S mount adapter I would consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Mamiya 50 shift and focusing with it takes time. But obviously, even though, because they are made for a mirrorless camera… would never do.

irenedp Posted September 13, 2023 Share #90 Posted September 13, 2023 My eyesight is far from perfect and I have used the Mamiya with an S2 mostly. It is easier with the S3 and the liveview at 100% -there I have no problem- but the S3 is a recent purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans-Dieter Gülicher Posted September 13, 2023 Share #93 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) In January 2019 my friend and me went to the Leica Store, Wetzlar as my friend wanted to buy a new SL2. After all I found a second hand S2 and took it. But it was not the best idea. The S2 had a lot of problems (sensor corrosion etc. etc.). I insisted to get a new S3 plus 30-90 mm lens up to the 13th of March as I planned to go to Chile and Anarctica. But they told me impossible, impossible ... and I insisted furtheron. 13th March nine o`clock my phone was ringing and I was told to pick up my brand new S3. I went again to Wetzlar. Comming back home I got the information everything has to be stopped because of Corona. Situation now, my S3 is my big machine. It functioned absolutely reliable and I get excellent pictures of highest quality. But travelling around in the meantime I prefere my M 10-R plus APO-Summicron 35 mm. It`s a small and handy combo especially for an old boy like me. Edited September 13, 2023 by Hans-Dieter Gülicher 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, Northern Lights was my first exhibited project, back in 2019 (I am a documentary photographer). It was shot in the ports of the North Coast in Spain at night (hence the title). You can see a bit of it in my website. Frame-it probably found it there as the publication is now out of print. I was not photographing the aurora borealis Apologies for the confusion. Kind regards, Irene 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul0303 Posted September 20, 2023 Share #99 Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) If you follow the Leica Rumors article to the original French Phototrend article https://phototrend.fr/2023/09/fin-production-leica-s3-hybride-moyen-format/ it has the interesting reporting "Le prochain hybride conservera la monture S Leica nous a précisé que ce nouvel appareil sans miroir conservera la monture S et sera donc compatible avec tout le parc optique moyen format développé depuis plus de 15 ans." which translates (according to Google) to "The next hybrid will retain the S mount Leica told us that this new mirrorless camera will retain the S mount and will therefore be compatible with the entire medium format optical fleet developed over more than 15 years." Maybe I missed it but I haven't see that before? Edited September 20, 2023 by Paul0303 emphasis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irenedp Posted September 20, 2023 Share #100 Posted September 20, 2023 It was obvious that Leica would want to make compatible the S lenses. But I would suppose that the “old” S lenses will need an adaptor if the new camera is mirrorless. What intrigues me, though, is the term “hybrid”.
