The S2 VF size and larger eyepiece do give it a big advantage over just about anything else, but for manual focus, I think is still a tad bit better on the R8 screen, and I have not seen anything better for focussing than the SL screen. Either way I would get a S2 in a fast second, if SWMBO was not standing next to me with that gun stuck in my face. ;) Cheers, Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Hopkinson" <hopsternew at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 4:20:30 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: Re: [Leica] Question on relative VF brightness.... Canon/Nikon/R8/SL to Visoflex I've never looked through the SL, the R9 is certainly impressive, just leaping into focus as you touch the focus ring but you must have been looking through a different S2;-) I remember thinking that its screen was huge! and bright. You must have had sunglasses on, Gene ;-) Oh wait I seem to recall that I had beer goggles on or a serious case of technolust at least.. Someone send me one of all of them and I shall do a proper comparison.
