No question, regardless of negative comments, quite frankly it's a dream Leica SLR! Yes it's true! .... However, I will only own one in my dreams unless I win the lottery! And if that should be the case I'd have two in the blink of an eye! :-) With all the lenses available! Seriously! :-) But the lottery must come first! WHY? Well I've been a LEICA SLR user in my professional life for more years than I can remember, they served me more than well and rarely did I have any problems???? Other than the horrid situation of trying to get an R4 with motor replaced! .... You have all read that story on more than one occasion! Need not repeat it. But this S2 is like a beautiful R8 with motor drive in hand.... and my assessment of that??? The R8 with a motor drive was the best in the world! OK I suppose you could include the R9. OK that's it, no point going on as I do believe I've made my point! The S2 is a beauty of an incredible camera.......... "if you can afford it!" If not? Get over it, take a deep breath! WHY? Well bitching about the price you can't afford doesn't really matter! Now really does it? Why not just feel good for the folks who can and are making it pay for itself! Quite frankly this S2 camera isn't for the weekend warrior wonder happy snapper! Unless he or she has more money than brains! Relax, life is too short for bitching and whining! Get over it, get out shooting some nice photographs with whatever equipment you own! ! Now don't you feel better? ;-) cheers, Dr. ted
