Archived posting to the Leica Users Group, 1998/11/05
[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I was browsing through the November '98 issue of Outdoor Photographer and came across an illustrated article regarding an association of German professional and serious hobbyist photographers called "Natur Bilder" specialising in nature photography . Some of the images were really rather good, in particular some macro work I believe. A most interesting sidebar to the referenced article quoted the majority of those German nature photographers as using Nikon and Canon equipment. Of course the overwhelming majority of nature specialists in other countries including the US and Canada also use Nikon and/or Canon but I had always halfway attributed that to the fact that the "famous" pros use them and then are emulated by others. It sort of surpised me that there was not a heavier use of Leica reflex amongst the Germans, especially considering that most of the images presented in the article were (or could have been) captured easily without autofocus.
