How about the Holga Sorry, couldn't resist given the two posts so close together. :-> In a message dated 98-11-26 I don't mean to offend anybody in particular, but can we keep the Nikon topics on a Nikon list. I don't mind the occassional Nikon question, but can the replies be sent to the original poster rather than the whole list. I myself not coming to the Leica R or M via Nikon, have very little interest in this stuff. I assume there are others like myself on the list. Regards, Robert Stevens And In a message dated 98-11-26 20:30:29 EST, you write: << I had an Eos Elan IIe system before, (my Wife uses it now), but did not have any of their exotic lenses. I would gladly compare the EOS to the Leica, but nobody would be interested. I just get the feeling that the Nikon users are as fanatical about their system as the Leica users. I was really not that excited about my EOS though. When I got an R camera and a few reasonably fast prime lenses, I wondered why I was using an EOS with F4-5.6 lenses. If I got the equivalent fast primes for the Canon, they would have cost more than the ones I bought used for the Leica. At one point, I wanted to do some Nature and sport photography and decided to get a 400 2.8. I would have been happy with the EOS 400, but the Leica was cheaper than the Canon 400, if I factored in buying a EOS 1N. I stayed with the Leica and I am glad because I like the lenses I have.
