How many people on the list would go out and get one? Pointless to expect all the enthusiasts who can -just- afford one product suddenly deciding to buy one 4 times more expensive in a completely different class. This is analogous to what is being discussed here. LUG members are, as a rule, just able to afford a M or R. The S is for photographers who have been using large format film or Hassy/Phase one MF digital. If there is a list for this type of camera it is there one may find rational discussion about the S2 comparisons, not here.
