I use the S2 almost all of the time in studio now but the M (typ 240) works very well too and I guess I shot several thousand frames with it in studio as well. I like that set with Jessalee in the red dress a lot. She is a very confident, happy, high energy woman for sure. Also a very good MUA and hairdresser when not modelling herself. On the technical side, I was experimenting with an ultra short duration studio flash which freezes the movement in a striking way. Jessalee was in full flight for some and I tried both the S2 and the M to catch the moments I wanted. I pre-focused with both cameras. I was very pleased to see how easy it was to catch the right moment with the M especially and of course there is no viewfinder blackout so the movement is easy to follow. The 'reflections' were added when I developed the images.
