They must be getting more soon. The $22,000 Leica S2 is now available for pre-order at B&H Photo and Amazon. I figured there may be some of you looking for this camera because I have had e-mails asking me where they are in stock. Your dream camera awaits! Just don’t tell the wife how much it costs 🙂 Ha ha…
PRE-ORDER THE LEICA S2 at B&H Photo also, don’t forget the 70 Summarit to go with it.
I’m more interested in the new Hasselblad H4D-40.
what are the advantages if the S2 over a hasselblad or phase one?
I dunno I saw a p21 or 25 for 12000$ and a contax is around 1000$..Would it be a décent alternative?
Where did I hide my 22.000 $ ? ahah !
Nice camera by the way. I’d love to test one.

Get those lenses now, what was a few thousand is now in the hundreads and will be right back at a few thousand if a digital R is made (and not just some wonky digital back but a full SLR product)
I think Sebastio Salgado is looking for one. LOL! This is a sweet rig, but ouch!
Dale Photo in Florida has been getting these in the last few days.
Meanwhile, the M9 is a long wait. LOL!
I have seen the S2 in a shop in Germany (Foto Dinter, München) a few days ago. It looks absolutely marvelous and actually looks more compact than a Nikon D3. Too bad it is so expensive: I am still hoping for a nice digital solution in the R-mount.
Here are some sample (full size) images to download
