I'm not going today the snow is falling today the size of small gerbils. https://www.schneideroptics.com/ecommerce/CatalogSubCategoryDisplay.aspx?CID =1822 or http://tinyurl.com/4ynsxqr I've never seen anything more gorgeous with this blue trim they have on it. Schneider Kreuznach. Their 120 5.6 fits on your Mamiya phase 1 camera and only cost $5,657.00. I'd have guessed 10. They have a 90mm 4.5 for your nikon for only $3,962.00 EA I guess EA does not really stand for "each". https://www.schneideroptics.com/ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=1822&II D=8295 because the JSK optics which are one of the very few sources to give Leica glass a run for their money they turn your camera, full frame or medium format or cropped into a view camera with a large range of tilt shifts. And while 3 to 5 thousand dollars makes a Nikon Canon user blanch a Mamiya user ever this is what a Leica user of today spends on his starter slow normal lens. Chump change. A good way to class up my Lowly Nikon D700. I saw on on a D3. A direct comparison between a Mamiya/phase1 with theses new lenses and the S2 glass would not be direct as the guy reminds me. Becuae as should be quite obvious we're not comparing glass. We're comparing whole systems. But I have no problem with comparing whole systems. Because when I win the lottery or start knocking off banks the system I could get into could be Phase 1 with the blue glass. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 16:19:34 +1000 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] New S lens > > Aah so they are identical, apart from the whole being completely different > thing ;-) > > Cheers > Geoff > > *Lighting- eyes- action* > http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman > > > > On 29 October 2011 12:24, John McMaster <john at mcmaster.co.nz> wrote: > >> One is 3:2 and the other is 4:3 ratio...... >> >> john >> >> -----Original Message----- >> >> >> The sensor size is the same as the S2.
