Leica is to release its enormous new digital medium format offering, the S2 in December this year.
According to the British Journal of Photography, between 100 and 200 units will be available on the camera’s initial launch.
The S2 system features its own class of specially-designed lenses, providing a 35mm-size camera capable of producing imaes 37.5 megapixels in size with its 30 x 45 mm sensor.
Leica’s New Zealand distributor, Lacklands, assured Tone’s sister publication D-Photo that the S2 is on track for a local delivery sometime in the early new year, and would have pricing competitive with other medium format digital cameras.
There are a few changes to this issue of Tone. We’ve said farewell to our fine cover girl in favour of some lads in white (it’s not a statement of preference, but the World Cup only comes around once every four years). In order to stimulate maximum creativity, our designer hasn’t slept since the last issue went to print, resulting in some crazy new fonts and unbelievably sleek breakout boxes possessing a level of sophistication not previously imagined. Like Saruman forging his army of fighting Uruk-Hai, we’ve dug new writers from the earth’s very gut, who now swarm across the world’s gadgets, crafting their infernal reviews. Though we’ve changed a little on the outside, we’re still the Tone you know and love on the inside. As always, we’re committed to providing the latest technology news and the best, unbiased, independent reviews of hot new products – and that’s never going to change. Enjoy.
