I might have to try to make the Dallas one just for the heck of it. Thanks for posting about this.

Looks like the Dallas event is an M9 event only where other cities have the S system included. Too bad, I'd pay the fee to get a chance to shoot the S2 (and keep the image files).

Thanks John. I think I'll invest my $100 in film and chemicals.

None of the Texas sites are going to have a S2. I had hoped for one in Austin given the great job Precision has done with Leica there.

Houston listed the S2. I am trying to decide if it is worth the $149 to handle such a rare beast.

The $149 is deductable from your S2 purchase.

If the past M8 roadshow is a guide, you get a ton of Leica freedies, a good days training for the price.

I'm going to make the Austin one, I think as I'm looking solely at the M9.

Serious Leica people just take the day off.
That's what I did for the M8 show in Dallas.

Wonder if its transferable? I can see a secondary market for them if the are.
