Leica

S2 Body

Medium format camera


The Leica S2 is the ultimate convergence of image quality and ergonomics, combining no-frills handling with world class technology. At the core of the S2 is its enormous 45×30mm CCD sensor. Its size assures beautiful, creamy backgrounds, while its ISO range of 100 to 1600 means you can do everything from shooting wide-open on a sunny day to working in dim, poorly lit environments.

A good sensor deserves a good processor, and the Leica delivers with its Maestro image processor. Together with its 2GB of memory, this processor delivers beautiful, noise-free images, and has enough capacity to buffer up to 14 DNG images during burst shooting, while JPEG shooting is limited only by your memory card.

The handling of the S2 is thoroughly intuitive. With a body similar to 35mm DSLRs, it is much more comfortable and balanced than traditional medium format systems, while its interface has been designed to get the job done as quickly and easily as possible.

A camera is nothing without a lens, and the S2 system has a selection of fast lenses in a variety of focal lengths. These lenses have been designed to deliver maxium contrast and sharpness with the S2 body, and feature advanced design with aspherical, anomalous partial dispersion, and high refractive index elements to control aberrations. Finally, all of the S2 system lenses can be had with a central shutter, which will allow you to sync flashes to its maximum speed 1/1000th of a second.
