Leica S2, M9, Summilux, Blog… Whew – There’s a lot going on in Leica Land

OK, so the post on the Leica S2 really got me thinking about digital Leica goodness. I was thinking that the S2 is beautiful and big but the Leica M9 is really much more my size.

Anyway, I was looking around and I saw that a new Summilux version is available. In this article, LEICA announced the update of its Leica SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH.

Other new Leica goodness includes their new Leica Blog. I’ll be reading.

Video overview of the Leica S2

Here is a nice overview of the Leica S2 Digital Camera. This is one beautiful camera. Maybe someday I’ll get my hands on one, but I think not now. I had a chance to shoot with one this week and I couldn’t make it. So I had to check out the video.

If you have the money and you want the best, this may be the camera for you.

Here are some Leica S2 Resources

Overview Video of the Fuji G-617 Panoramic Camera

This is a very nice introduction to the Fuji G-617 Panoramic Camera. He emphasizes the need to use a center spot filter to even out the exposure. He then goes into details of all the features of the camera.

These cameras are still beautiful and tempting. The 617 format is incredible.
