But 10 vs. 15 megapixels is not the crux of the issue. The megapixel race is a proven fallacy. What's needed is bigger individual pixel grabbers which can only exist in a bigger format. And that format is 24x36 so we're back to Leica finding someone to figure out how to make the edges of the sensors way off lens axis grab non distorted information. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: mehrdad <msadat@gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2008 23:10:00 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Who will purchase the 21 and 24 mm ? > > hey sigma even made leica lenses a while back!! > > i want leica to survive and thrive. but they need to get into the > main stream, everybody is pushing 15 + meg leica is 10, and then u got > the 8k plus lenses. that's far from main stream profitability. i > really think they need a set of lenses in the 1~2k range, then a set > "premium" @ 5k range but beyond that for a camera that now can not > shoot or compete past iso 640 is way too much and i am a leica die > hard > > On Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 10:16 PM, Mark Rabiner <mark@rabinergroup.com> > wrote: >> So Sigma lenses are Tom lenes? >> >> >> >> mark@rabinergroup.com >> Mark William Rabiner >> >> >> >>> From: mehrdad <msadat@gmail.com> >>> Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> >>> Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:52:32 -0700 >>> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> >>> Subject: Re: [Leica] Who will purchase the 21 and 24 mm ? >>> >>> tom sigma makes a 20 1.8 24 1.8 canon makes 24 1.4 none which cost over >>> 2k >>> >>> On Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 9:31 PM, Tom Schofield <tomschofield@comcast.net> >>> wrote: >>>> Not only the value of enhanced reputation, but also the value of all >>>> the >>>> free advertising from the magazines and websites that will be raving >>>> about >>>> the fastest lenses available in their focal lengths! >>>> >>>> Tom >>>> >>>> >>>> On Sep 14, 2008, at 7:44 PM, Lottermoser George wrote: >>>> >>>>> don't underestimate >>>>> the value of reputation >>>>> enhanced by >>>>> cutting edge >>>>> optical performance >>>>> or >>>>> the small >>>>> yet loyal >>>>> and >>>>> wealthy >>>>> Leica market >>>>> >>>>> opportunity >>>>> is in the eye >>>>> of the beholder >>>>> >>>>> Fond regards, >>>>> George >>>> >>>> >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> Leica Users Group. >>>> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >>>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> ------------------------------------- >>> regards, mehrdad >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Leica Users Group. >>> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Leica Users Group. >> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >> > > > > -- > ------------------------------------- > regards, mehrdad > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
