Leica S2 Hands-On Review

Leica S2 Hands-On Review from M Reichman. The S2 is a rare thing: not only a whole new top-professional camera, but introducing a whole new system and format too.
"I'm very impressed by the Leica S2. It may well be one of the finest camera systems ever made. There is a fluidity, an elegance, and a pleasure in its use that has to be experienced to be fully appreciated."

It's saying something that the worst fault he finds is that ISO setting is not shown in the finder. That's a thing I barely notice about a camera.
And apparently the lenses are some of the best ever made.
Leica themselves, by the way, have said that the great differentiator between this and full frame 35mm systems (Nikon D3x, Canon 1Ds, etc) is not so much resolution and sensor size, as the lenses.
And the price? Well, you know, if you have to ask...

You can afford a camera in the tens of thousands of Euros?
