Normal for the S2 format by the way is 54mm's.
Leica is calling their "normal' a 70 which makes you think the sensor is
that big; it ain't.
You cant blame them for  NOT coming out with a 55mm lens and calling it a
normal nobody would think it was medium format. Yet it really is.
The problem is what we think a 35mm full frame or film is is not.
Its not 50. Its really 43.
And 55 really is a full jump up from 43.
But 55 from 50 is negligible.

I just say that because 30 is way wider than a 70. Which makes you think its
super wide.
But 30 is so than from a 55.
Perhaps someone can do a comparative angle of view to see how that compares
to what we are familiar with in 35mm photography.
