I hope the G1 can serve this purpose even better, with M lenses, in any shade of colour - rather than the infamous 24 elmarit R on the so low rated L1, two poor puppies I adopted out of charity for myself. No hard feelings Mark. The BW "dramatic" treatment does convey something of what you perceived. And I happy you pointed it to me. Thanks for this too. Bien amicalement Philippe - who suddenly likes dragons - well, when they 're good singers. ;-) Mark Rabiner wrote: >Is it supposed to look like an animated singing dragon or is it just me? > > > >mark@rabinergroup.com >Mark William Rabiner > > > > > >>From: Philippe AMARD <philippe.amard@tele2.fr> >>Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> >>Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2008 23:47:17 +0100 >>To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> >>Subject: Re: [Leica] Micro 4/3rds and using M lenses >> >>Mark, >>24 Elmarit R on a 7.5 mp 4/3 >>http://tinyurl.com/5qs9ud >>Can't be worse with the G1 and M lens, can it? >>Amiti?s >>Phx >> >> >>Mark Rabiner wrote: >> >> >> >>>I see there's a picture of a red G1 with a black 35mm ASPH Summicron on >>>it. >>>You cant get those puppies in red I checked. >>>It looks a lot better on the tiny red camera than the huge ugly Canon FD >>>50mm SSC! >>> >>>But I look at that and imaging what an ASPH 24 or 21 would look like on >>>the >>>camera. >>>Because with a 2 times crop circle factor that's certainly what I'd be >>>using. >>>As with my 35mm ASPH Summicron that's a 70mm portrait lens. >>>Seems a little odd. >>> >>>With the huge heavy 24 you get a 48. >>>That's a whole lot a high end glass to be shooting through the very center >>>of; and nothing else. >>> >>>A 21mm becomes a 42mm. >>>normal >>>I thought you'd like to know that.
