Yes Indeed. I use AWB on my M9 in mixed lighting. It isn't accurate but boy is it pretty.
I really like S files, like larger M9 files.
This thread has moved all over the place, mostly towards what is "correct" color reproduction. For paintings, achriving, that makes sense, for fashion, the images leica posted it's all a matter of taste.
It took me one look at an S2 file and my feeling was it looked like my m8 files on people which sold me then and there.
Once in a processor we all know that can change, but starting pretty usually ends up pretty.
Honestly, the format, either in dimension or size is not relevant to me. What is relevant is it tethers, it has pretty color, it seems robust, I could use my current lens set.
It ticked off a lot of points for me and it offers me a lot of lens options and I am positive Leica making smart adapters was a great move because even though I started with one body and a battery, I'll place many more orders in the Leica S system as time goes on. Actually this week.
Now I won't say the camera is perfect, nothing is and to me the biggest leap with this camera was the fact I've shot so much with the olympus m43 cameras and evf. When I first shot the S2 I would change the shutter look through the viewfinder and wonder why nothing changed. I guess that's the opposite effect from ovf users to evf users.
I will say I think Leica has built a presence in the market and with Sinar, if they finally do something with that brand, they will cover a lot of territory.
IMO
