Tirpitz666 Posted March 11 Share #201 Posted March 11 Advertisement (gone after registration) Fully agree with Tom, not always "take it slowly" is enough to nail focus all the time, and at large apertures, even the focus confirmation dot becomes somewhat imprecise at times. I couldn't find an original split prims focussing screen for my 006 and I've ordered one third party from China, but I haven't dared to install it yet..

Pieter12 Posted March 11 Share #202 Posted March 11 While we are off on the tangent of AF, is there any difference between AF performance of the S versions: S2, S 006, S007, S3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having S006 and S3, the latter is slightly faster and more reliable (less forth-back focusing than 006). With the outstanding optical viewfinder, I often use manual focus, so I can not say that AF is that important for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrips Posted May 14 Share #204 Posted May 14 I'm planning to purchase a used (there are no new ones so this makes sense) S3 or S2 007 within the next year for an upcoming exhibition in Paris that I am designing. The prints will be quite large, hence the preference for the medium format camera. I'm sticking with these two models so I am tired of noise about alternative camera brands or smaller sized cameras.

Slender Posted May 14 Share #205 Posted May 14 I just got 35 CS and 120CS. S006 colors as so incredibly good. S3 is on the radar as well to form a nice pair of extremes. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McMaster Posted May 15 Share #206 Posted May 15 I have just bought a second S(007) with five lenses; mostly these overlap with what I have so will be selling a 35, 45CS, 70 and 180 if anybody is interested. May be interested in 30/30CS and/or 120CS. john - Scotland 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 45 weren't so darn huge I might be tempted to make you an offer... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

irenedp Posted May 25 Share #215 Posted May 25 I am considering too streamlining what I have -and rarely use-. A 10r and a q2 will go, and eventually the S3 (when the new one comes). I rarely use them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynp Posted June 10 Share #218 Posted June 10 It’s the original S version. Found it at a second hand camera shop in Chengdu Digital plaza . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Posted June 10 Share #219 Posted June 10 (edited) Investing in an S system, as of today: S006 with a new sensor and with the rare Split Microprism. A Hen's tooth that one... sadly the camera has a flaw and went to Germany. I am lucky enough to have a loaner S006 + a 70mm lens as a spare to keep playing this summer in the meantime. 35CS with new AF motor and 1 year warranty, in like new condition a very beautiful 120CS with a repaired shutter in 2013 BUT seemingly an old AF motor. The 1 year warranty is un-conditional so I decided to keep it for this period at least Another hen's tooth: a used Leica S Case 16010.... should come in the mail tmr. Also super hard to find it seems. S3, 100 and 180 on the backburner of my mind Edited June 10 by Slender 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirpitz666 Posted June 11 Share #220 Posted June 11 Very nice purchases congrats! Basically bought the veru same stuff a few months ago (save from the 35 as I chose the 30) and I could be happier, I'm a CCD junkie to the point that afterwards I also bought an M9 with the fixed sensor as well 😀 I also have the 180 I can only highly recommend it, especially if you do female portraiture work, it has a somehow gentler rendering vs the 120 (which is anyway amazing by itself) and for me is my "poor's man" Cron 100, which is still too expensive for my pockets.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
