jerry_pfile1 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Didn't see any mention of box, IB, unfilled cards, etc. either. But hey, the seller said it was working "grate". Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james mitchell dc Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 I like the handles. But where is the shutter? No soft release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd frederick Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 I can cut you a deal on one for $9K but the extras are extra! I will include shipping, but only in the USA! (^O^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james mitchell dc Posted August 31, 2003 Author Share Posted August 31, 2003 Take the space out after "dll?" (Something created by the cut and paste.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk_arts Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Thanks James- This camera is [prob] well worth $10,000, and 5.9K is a bargain! New, they run/ran at $20,000 This is the only non-scanning back I would remotely consider, the output is AMAZING... Still at $10,000, you would think the additional $500-1,000 for the lens could have been thrown in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watts Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 <i>This is the only non-scanning back I would remotely consider, the output is AMAZING...</i><br><br>Not sure what you mean. It *is* a scanning-back (well to be pedantic it's a scanning camera). It's strictly for subjects that don't move.<br><br> Incidentally, I'm not sure 6000 USD is that much of a bargain for it. The fact it may have cost 20,000 USD once is irrelevant. Brand new current model Betterlight scan-backs can be had for around that amount and they will fix on cameras that provide fuller movements than anything you can attach to this Leica (pretty important for the type of photography where you would use a scanning back). Don't forget also that the Leica's software will be pretty old. I doubt whether the custom version of Silverfast used will be upgradeable to work with OS X. Okay, you could dedicate an older Mac to this camera but it just adds to the clunkiness of buying a 'no longer supported' solution. It would be a real bargain at around 2-3000 USD (might be tempted myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk_arts Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I thought the S1 was a fixed, long exposure CCD at ISO 50, unlike the Betterlights which have a non-fixed, travelling CCD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
