[Leica] Nathan's PAD 21/8/2020: some IR with my M8

[Nathan Wajsman]

Thanks Don, but the problem with Leica M in a bicycle handlebar bag are the vibrations. I am sure it would not take many rides to knock the rangefinder out of alignment. Plus for my cycling photos I need a zoom since I am restricted to what I can photograph from the edge of the road. This is why the tiny Panasonic GM5 is so brilliant—tiny, good image quality, and the camera plus the 12-32 and 35-100 zoom lenses all fit into one Domke insert in my handlebar bag.

Cheers,
Nathan
