[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Friends, As I mentioned last week, I spent a large part of the week just ending on a company retreat in the Austrian Alps. So again this week I have a landscape picture to share, at: http://www.geocities.com/belgiangator/pawindex.htm Also, for the second week in a row it is a non-Leica picture. It is on my first roll shot with the newly acquired "Texas Leica", the Fuji GSW690III. It is a 6x9cm rangefinder with an excellent 5.6/65mm lens (equivalent to 28mm in 35mm format). As a Leica user, I feel immediately at home with this camera; the rangefinder being the obvious similarity, but also the excellent image quality (my Epson scanner does not do it justice) and the fact that this camera is eminently hand-holdable. Finally, opinions on this picture were strongly divided in my family: my 11-year old son likes it, my wife think it sucks. So I would appreciate any opinions from the LUG.
