"Leica S2" The Ultimate DSLR

2009-03-30T12:25:00.002-04:00

2009-03-30T12:19:00.000-04:00

The biggest surprise at last month’s Photokina show, and certainly one of the hottest camera products of the year, had to be the new 37.5 megapixel Leica S2 and its lens family. If you have to ask how much it’s going to cost, this camera isn’t for you! Estimates with a 70mm lens: $20,000. The new Leica S2 digital SLR appears to be a well designed, and thought out piece of camera equipment. It’s really the first-of-its-kind DSLR, with a larger than 35mm CCD sensor (30×45mm vs. 36×24mm, approximately 56% larger) delivering medium-format class resolution and a normal 3:2 aspect ratio. Key Leica S2 DSLR specs 37-megapixels 30x45mm sensor (larger than 35mm full frame DSLR sensors which are 24x36mm) weatherproof seals dual shutter (leaf or focal plane) DNG RAW 3" LCD cutesy rectangular status display at the top body size in-between Canon single-digit DSLRs nine new lenses, including 30mm tilt and shift 120mm f2.5 macro 70mm f2.5 "standard" 180mm 35mm 24mm The Leica reps claim at least twice as fast auto-focusing as Hassy's H-series, and better ISO performance as well.

Very Sad News

2009-03-26T16:26:00.000-04:00

In the end of September I’ve learned that my German Shepherd “Cora” was a very sick girl and had cancer. I was devastated by this news and decided that my focus must be to help her anyway I can. Her health strongly declined from when I received the bad news and I ended up giving her the shirt off my back to pay for medication and veterinary visits. Unfortunately nothing helped and I had to watch my girl deteriorate right in front of my eyes. No matter what I cooked, her weight would decline until she eventually withered down to only 40 Lbs. She had to be treated with painkillers and many other meds daily and I crossed my fingers for something to take effect and make her well again but she finally lost her battle on January 26th. From that Day on I was a broken man and suffered intense feelings of grief and sadness. This dog was my child and with me 24/7 from when she was a puppy and we bonded like soul mates. We did everything together. I guess only someone who experiences this kind of closeness to their pet can understand why it was not possible for me to write this until now. It took me this long just to re-compose myself and accept the reality that she is no longer with me. I’m still sad to the core when I wake up every morning without her wet nose planted on my cheek. I’ll never forget the unconditional love I received from her for the rest of my life. I hope this explains my long absence from my Blog. I still did not finish developing my new website and all I photographed were Cora’s final pictures. I have decided to re-submerse myself in photography so my days are filled with less grief. Even though I had no postings for all this time, I did however visit your Blogs to see what you all were up to and really liked what I saw but noticed that some of you have written me off for good. I hope I can continue where I left off and be re-integrated into your Blog rolls. I’ll plan to do some spring shooting and start posting in early April.

Developing Brand New Blog / Website

2008-11-01T12:41:00.003-04:00

Fellow Bloggers, I will be busy with developing a whole new Blog with brand new photography concepts for the next 2-3 Months. During this time I will not be posting but I'll still keep up with my blog roll when possible. I hope everyone will be around for the unveiling of the new ENIGMA 3 site when it is finished. Thanks everyone for visiting and leaving your great comments. Keep your fingers on those shutter release buttons and have a great holiday season.
