Congrats Jackson!!! LOvely set!!! One hand focusing shiok right?! HOw's the RF patch? Now u know what I mean by fuzzy right?

Thanks Dave! I tot its okay on my S2...thou i must admit its slightly different compared to de Leica M2....haha
 

Its here! I was the first to reach the custom to make payment for the parcel. But i didnt dare to open it before my breakfast...and while unpacking the camera, i was praying hard that everything is in good condition!

Its amazing when i see the camera! The condition was alot better than my expectation!(Guess David didnt took very nice digital pics of the camera when he posted for sale..haha) I test and try the camera and it has such a user feel! I always have the perception that Nikon S is not user friendly which explains why the niche market for it. Seems like i was wrong!
The dial for one 1 hand focusing was impressive!
Everything seems to be easy except the shutter dial. So i guess i will be spending the noon to figure out how to select the shutter speed...Other than that, its really a bargain owning them!

Jon! I regretted not picking up that 3.5cm too!

The 2.8cm got me awhile to understand where is the aperture ring..haha

Its a tiny lens with big "waistline" and so i cant use my zhou case on my M2 if i wish to use it. Compared to the CV lens, this lens feel more robust and i can focus down to 4ft...

Yes:) wow that 35mm f1.5, thats a rare one rite? The last i read, only 48 pieces made..its a collector item. Do you have any pics taken with it?
And what is ur feel about the f1.8? Quite alot of different views on this lens.
