After holding it my R4 with winder and 90 Summicron feels WWWWAAAAYYYYY better! Guess everything is relative. The D100 feels like a toy.<< I could live with the fact that most of the new digital cameras feel like toys. After all, I suspect most will be outdated long before they wear out. But what I really find lacking in most digital SLRs is the viewfinder. I have a difficult time paying over $2K for any SLR with a viewfinder that's no better than that found in a $100 P&S. Maybe the theory behind digital cameras is that you really don't need to frame that well. You just need to generate more image files and hope that one of them turns out. :-) DaveR - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
