[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]1) I read this list as a digest due to time constraints. 2) To correct a prior post, the dear, departed Eric W. sold his Leica gear for Nikon (not Canon), and says he's quite happy with his new stuff. (So he told the Nikon list.) 3) Marc from Virginia, knowledgable as ever, pointed out that Leica uses a trick to create a unique optical outcome. a) What's the "trick"? b) Is there a visible-to-the-naked-eye effect at, say 8x10 print size? Is it seen only in Chrome? 4) The only glass LUG members praise besides Leica is Zeiss. Why wouldn't an imaging purist (with money to burn, I guess) go with Contax and Zeiss glass instead of Leica? Their SLRs offer auto-focus, for those who want/need it. 5) Speading of Contax, for those who care, the Usenet buzz is that the G-2 is a pig. And there is no Contax mailing list. 6) On behalf of all the other newbies and lurkers, I want to thank the experienced, in-the-know people who make this list such an informative pleasure to read.
