The reason why Leica rangefinder people have also had a nikon hanging around their lens is a long zoom or other things an SLR is more ideally suited for. In this case its an 80 to 300 which looks like a 50. But I'll be shooting not that much with it as I go to full frame. Any snap shooting I do with the smaller format I'll do with a compact body my d40x and a 35mm g AFS 1.8 lens. The reason this shot by the way has an edge over much of my similar work is the auto iso is giving it an iso of 720. Not 1600 as most night shots are going to get. A Summilux 35 would be great on an m9 I'm happy for you and envious. -- Mark William Rabiner mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2010 16:22:43 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Lincoln Center Fountain silhouettes at night > > Just teasing.
