The delivery of the new professional camera system LEICA S2 to dealers has begun punctually to the planned deadline of calendar week 50 of 2009. The first camera goes to Jim Rakete, the prominent photographer from Berlin. Jim Rakete is considered to be one of Germany’s most famous photographic artists.

His work is particularly characterised by perceptive portraiture of musicians, actors and actresses and also numerous politicians. His connections with Leica are founded on many years of mutual friendship. His first contact with the S2 this year was such an intense experience that he spontaneously made the decision to buy the system. Jim Rakete: “The S2 is a camera that embodies the best characteristics of good tools – it never tries to tell me what to do. It fits my hands like a glove, and doesn’t make any superfluous suggestions when I’m shooting. For me, it’s an absolute superlative in digital quality – for the first time in ages you can really feel the depth of focus in your shots’.

The LEICA S2 is distinguished by its successful combination of a high resolution sensor in Leica’s unique Leica Pro-Format with a full range of features from auto focus to a fast Maestro image processor, rugged construction and optimum size and handling. The sum total of its features make it an ideal tool for professional photographers who value a camera system that offers flexibility, ruggedness and manageability in combination with truly outstanding image quality.

Please note that stocks should arrive in Australia in Feb-March via our 3 S-System Dealers
