Hee hee, all these talk come down to the S2 sensor is larger than 35mm film
frame, which the R lens were designed for. Normally, you do not expect a
35mm system lens to cover the larger sensor (e.g. the medium format lens are
larger than the 35mm ones), but the fact that some do is another statement
about Leica's design prowess!
