[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My old Canon camera, lenses and filters were stolen and I now intend to replace them. I am a landscape/wildlife/travel photographer. Previously a hobbyist, I intend to pursue these interests professionally. I use lenses from wide-angle to 600mm. I'm frequently in low light conditions (existing light, early am--late pm). I understand that leica has the best optics around. It appears the best optics are with the rangefinder M series which would be good for landscape and some travel photography, but then I would be without telephoto/zoom lenses for wildlife and some travel photos. The R-series is the next step; however, I've noted the discussion of poor viewfinder visibility in low light with the R-series camera/lenses. I have approximately $6,000 to invest. I would appreciate your recommendations. Thanks, JT
