When the Leica S2 was
announced, one of the interesting features was a line of lenses equipped with
leaf shutters, the CS lenses. These
allow flash synch speeds of up to 1/1000 sec compared to the 1/125 sec synch speed
of the camera. Up until now, these
lenses have not been available, but shipments have begun to show up ate Leica
dealers, beginning with the Leica Summarit-S 70mm f/2.5 ASPH CS and with others
soon to follow.
Leica has announced a CS lens
upgrade program for previously purchased Leica S lenses. Here are the official details:
•The customer must have
purchased a new Leica S-system lens without a central shutter on or before June
20, 2011.
•The customer must have
registered the lens in the Owner's Area on Leica's website.
•The customer must have
downloaded and printed out (or saved as a PDF) the CS Lens Trade-Up Voucher
from the customer area of the Leica S-System website.
•The customer must take or
email the the voucher to the authorized S-Systems dealer where the S-System
lens was originally purchased and buy an S-System central shutter lens of the
same focal length by paying the difference between the original purchase price
of the non-CS lens and the price of the new CS lens. Customers must return to
the original dealer to trade up to a CS lens.
•The returned lens must be in
working condition, no scratches on the optical system, and include front and
back lens caps and the lens hood. The original box and packaging must be
included if available.
