Don't hear much about the S2 in this group of shooters. I read this quote which kind if sums it up I guess: "Stephen Wilkes is a leading American photographer, widely recognized for his fine art and commercial works which have been featured in publications such as Vanity Fair, Sports Illustrated, Time, Life Magazine, and The New York Times Magazine. To satisfy his need for full control in his work, Stephen mounts his 80 MP Leaf Aptus-II 12 on a large format camera. "Nobody wants the photographic narrative in their work to be determined by technical limitations. I want to capture all the highlights, shadows and colors the way they look in the natural light, the way I see them. Working with my Leaf enables me to capture what I see, exactly the way I see it. The Leaf delivers extremely accurate colors, nothing is lost in the digitization process, meaning that I don't have make any compromises." But the cost! Wow! Scott
