jackart Posted September 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think that Leica's first large-sensor cam was S1? Leica's first digital camera on 1996, which had a scanning back with an image area of 36 x 36mm and 26 Mp resolution. Jaak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo_Lorentzen Posted October 1, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2009 interesting that 36x36 is comfortable enough inside the image circle. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnik Posted October 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 1, 2009 . Ist das nicht die lange erwartete R10? Passen ja schön R-Linsen drauf. Also die S1 ist ja wohl mit Abstand die hässlichste Kamera die je gebaut wurde. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhoersch Posted October 1, 2009 Share #5 Posted October 1, 2009 What else could we talk about on the S2 forum while the S2 is still not available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Watson Posted December 30, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 30, 2009 interesting that 36x36 is comfortable enough inside the image circle. . The advantage of being a circle..... now...M3, why "3"? :D:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tashley Posted December 30, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 30, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) interesting that 36x36 is comfortable enough inside the image circle. . It would have to be: a 35mm negative is 36mm wide so any lens that can cover that in width can cover it in height - that's a Summicron R in the foreground.

stunsworth Posted December 30, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 30, 2009 It would have to be: a 35mm negative is 36mm wide so any lens that can cover that in width can cover it in height - that's a Summicron R in the foreground. That's not the case. Imagine a circle just clipping the four corners of a 36x24mm rectangle. Then extend the rectangle vertically to a 36x36mm square. There will be sections of the square that lie outside of the circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tashley Posted December 30, 2009 Share #9 Posted December 30, 2009 My brain hurts. You're right. The small image circle can cover a height of 36mm or a width of 36mm but not both at the same time. Doh! The diameter of a circle required to cover the smaller, rectangular sensor is 43.27mm whereas for the larger, square sensor it is 50.91mm. I think. Now my head hurts too.

adan Posted December 30, 2009 Share #12 Posted December 30, 2009 My local dealer has an S1 - refuses to sell it as he is a semi-collector. It has the R lens adapter as well as the Hassy adapter. We put a 24mm Elmarit-R on it, and the lens image circle fully covered the viewfinder's groundglass. Pretty darn wide - minimal falloff. (But never let real-world facts get in the way of armchair theory.... ) Why M3? - "M(esssucher) 3" = "Rangefinder with 3 framelines" (50/90/135) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted January 3, 2010 Share #13 Posted January 3, 2010 Andy, don't say stuff like that, some people out there are probably trying to place a order for a S2 and a R adapter just about now. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
