Leica is expanding its range of accessories for the Leica S2 professional camera system. From August 2011, three new Leica S-Adapters will be available, allowing photographers to attach medium-format lenses from other manufacturers to Leica S bodies. The Leica S-Adapter V can be used for Hasselblad V System lenses, the Leica S-AdapterP67 for the Pentax 67 system lenses and the Leica S-Adapter M645 for the lenses of the Mamiya 645 system.
The S-Adapters offer many benefits to professional photographers. As a result of being able to use third-party lenses on the Leica S2, photographers now have access to a wider selection of additional lenses, further increasing the S-System’s flexibility. Furthermore, photographers who already own lenses from the aforementioned systems can now use them on the Leica S2. This extension of the compatible lens range includes tilt and shift. As with all products in the Leica S portfolio, the Leica S-Adapters are manufactured to extremely high specifications. The use of high quality materials in their construction – anodised aluminium and chrome-plated brass – makes them durable and reliable, even when in constant use.
Dimensions and weight of the S-Adapters:
Leica S-Adapter V H 30.2 mm x W 81 mm 138.75 g
Leica S-Adapter M645 H 15.5 mm x W 78 mm 93.5 g
Leica S-Adapter P67 H 37 mm x W 90 mm 222.5 g

Olympus E-P3 Price and Stock Status
We have tested the PEN EP3, the latest 4/3 camera by Olympus and the first results are now available. The Olympus PEN EP3 apart from changes on the exterior, it is pretty much the same sensor as the Olympus PEN EP2 and Olympus E5.
At first sight this comparison is a rather unfair one, as the Olympus sensor is smaller, however as we said earlier they are both EVIL cameras.
In this camera category some photography enthusiasts and professionals look for every-day interchangeable lens cameras that can be taken everywhere, without the bulk and weight of DSLRs.
In spite of its good results we still encountered some old problems:
In high ISO (Lowlight ISO score of 536 which is a bit low in comparison with the results of the latest APS-C sensors (the score is 1083 for the Sony NEX C3 on Lowlight ISO, for example).
The Olympus PEN EP3 has still the same behavior in low ISO for the dynamic range and the score at the minimum ISO is not increasing as expected (+1 EV in comparison with the next IS0).
