i went PMA for one day last week, and did play with the S2 70mm and 180mm
lens. quite nice and very fast auto focus. the leaf shutter was not working
yet. the feeling was like a leica r8 with dmr just a bit bigger but less
weight for the camera, so s2 flet lighter. the lenses very much remind me of
the pentax 6x7 lenses. same size and almost same look. they are shooting for
sep/oct delivery and with a pro service available both in west & east cost
for quick fixes, loners and stuff like that. the high iso was still
undetermined and with a UMDA card like sandisk u can shoot none stop.

i also shot with the new nocti, 24,21 and 18mm lens with my sd card. the new
nocti seems narrower than the old one and quite sharp, the 21,24 where a
delight to use and not that heavy.
