Now is everyone satisfied? Larry Z - - - - - - Not sure how you interpreted what I wrote. The Leica lens will magnify more. A lot more.

But the difference between coverage between 35mm and 6x6 is large. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com From: Mark William Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2010 22:30:12 -0400 To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Subject: Re: [Leica] One Big Expensive Leica Lens Bet you 3 bucks its less.

I'm going to guess its higher. 1600mm at 35 I'd think would be a higher mag than 1700mm at Brownie film.
