Reading is about an hour's drive north and west of Philadelphia. They have several excellent museums in the area. Best, Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA Who loves seeing tourists pose with the Rocky statue at the Philadelphia Museum of Art -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Tom Pastorello Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 9:35 AM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Taupier Museum postings Thank you for the Philadelphia museum postings, Len. You demonstrate your fine available light skills with this very demanding type of photography. I can use only M for very successful museum photography. Your work demonstrates to me that the M8 takes its place along with the M7, M6 ... as an equivalent tool. Yesterday, I used the M8 for family Easter celebrations. The in-field (no tests) results have amazed me. I used lenses as wide as 24mm, with and without 486 filtering and no lens coding. I could detect nothing in any image that suggested a problem. The results were indistinguishable from my comparable shooting with M6 and color film. The M8 provides the Leica-look! Tom P. P.S. We photographed some of the same works of art at that wonderful Philadelphia museum. (May we forever break its association with Rocky.)
