[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have an M6 and an R7, with 35, 50, and 90 mm lenses for the former and 24, 50, 60 (macro), 100 (macro), 180 APO (and soon 280 APO), and 2x and 2x APO extenders for the latter. When out shooting I thus feel ready for any focal length needed. Plus, having multiple lenses in my Billingham 335 and pulling them out, using them, and putting them back in (i.e. fondling them) is a wonderfully sensuous experience. The feel of their bodies is soothing and . . . better stop there! Ferdinand U.
