I also have a Nikon F on which I have mounted a 180 f2.8. But for some really bizarre reason, I find taking photographs, and talking about taking them, far more interesting and worthwhile than fixating on all things Leica. The Canon/Nikon thread is far less off-topic than many, many, many threads on this list. At least it has to do with cameras, and, in fact, may tell us something about Leica's corporate problems. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of > Greg.Chappell@bankofamerica.com > Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 1999 8:54 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: RE: RE: [Leica] God, no Canon vs. Nikon... > > > Do you guys use Leicas? > > -----Original Message----- > From: B.
