In fact this whole debate (whoever is right) has no point. Leica did
name their new camera S2 because an S1 existed already. Of course they
might have named it with any other letter than S...
Everything has absolutely no importance (again, being right or not by
nitpicking words, both sides).

One of the owners is at Photokina, the other was at her desk.

Whether I'll be one of the buyers depends on where my photography

photographers about the design and functionality of this camera.
Remember how many M cameras they tested and gave away to people in
Magnum over the years. It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the
biggest names in photography had

Not really a Leica camera in the hand-held tradition, and no relation
whatever to the S2. I remember seeing that once upon a time ... it is
a technical camera. The gods only know whether they sold more than a

I think the L2 is visually pleasing in the same sense that the 67
