Leica S1 High Speed 4000 x 4000 pixels 18 seconds scanning time. ![]() Leica S1 Alpha 2750 x 2750 pixels 75 seconds scanning time. Leica S x 5140 pixels 185 seconds scanning time. The 75MP files is not entirely consistent witht he specifications I have for resolution, but as they were scan cameras (slowly taking one of the three main colors (RGB) at the time, it's possiblethe the megapixels added up to three times the pixel count: The Leica S1 took Leica R and M lenses, as well as Hasselblad, Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Zeiss, Olympus, Pentax, Sinar and Mamiya. The price was about $30,000 and 146 was made of them. The Leica S1 was meant as a studio camera that delivered a digital scan (30-60 seconds) directly to an Apple computer (using Silverfast software), and thus not a camera made for carrying around. The biggest of the three versions (Pro, Alpha and Highspeed) packed a 36x36mm sensor as 75 megapixels – quite something cosidering the digital SLR cameras had from 1 to 4 MP back then. (Photo from Digital Photography)Įarly S: In 1996, as the digital photography revolution began, Leica introduced its Leica S1 digital camera to the market. Leica S2 working prototype of a 37.5 MP medium format digital camera as presented at Photokina 2008 with the 70mm Summarit-S ASPH CS autofocus lens. The name is a bit curious because Leica produced an entirely different "large format" camera ten years earlier, the Leica S from 1996-1999 ( see further below). Leica S and Leica S2 is the medium format Leica Camera AG introduced in December 2009 with the Leica S, and with Leica S2 in December 2009. Leica S demonstration at the Photokina 2012 by Stephan Schulz who has been the midwife of the Leica S system since the S2 prototype. Also Red Dot Forum maintained by Leica Store Miami is a great resource for Leica S information beacuse the owner, David Farkas, has used the Leica S since it's relase.Īlso, here is an Interview in Forbes with Stephan Schulz, Head of Professional Photo at Leica Camera AG, from May 2013: "How Leica Camera Is Reinventing The Medium-Format Market On Its Own Terms" The main attraction of the Leica S is the extremely high dynamic range it performs (15.3 stops).įor updated tips and tricks on the Leica S system, I recommend visiting the GetDPI Photography Forums where there are a lot of medium format and large format users. The energy and feeling around the music is what makes the difference and letting Sidney Charles not be one of manys.I have never used the Leica S system seriously for more than just a few hours at the time. He is not a musician, nor a percussionist. ![]() Highly delighted and inspirited by the time of late 80s and early 90s, when the movement, accompanied by young culture, began, Sidney Charles was finding the higher BPM-numbers of House & Techno were leading to more inspiration and happiness. At the beginning Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Breakbeat and Turntablism was Sidney´s medium to express his emotions. ![]() With the age of 15 Sidney Charles discovered the magic of the two black discs spinning on the 1210s. Exactly these motions are fascinating the young man, born as Sidney Charles Hurricane Vieljans in Hamburg, Germany. Everybody, who understands this love-binding kind of music, has to live the urban movement behind it, the culture that brings people of all kinds together. The younger the artist, the shorter his Biography!īut Sidney Charles in his age of twenty-something already looks into many happy faces, when he enters the decks.
