[Leica] Two pro video guys using Canon DSLR to shoot Art Opening

[jshulman at judgecrater.com (Jim Shulman)]

Henning, my hat's off to you!  I was NEVER able to get my Switar 13mm/f.9
to focus worth a darn, even when I used it on my H8 with the eye level
focus attachment.  It was a technical tour de force, as well as a very
expensive option (about $160 new, as I recall).  On the other hand, I've
never had a problem with my Switar 13mm f1.5, which I regularly use on my
D8L.

Best,
Jim

I had a f/0.9 Switar on a Bolex in the early 60's. A fantastic lens in
almost every way, and it made Kodachrome a lot more useable.
