Then it will be "an electronic M6". I wonder what the possibilites are of putting Leica lenses on it are... eyes - --WebTV-Mail-1528557370-45 Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Message/RFC822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit Received: from mailsorter-101.iap.bryant.webtv.net (mailsorter-101.iap.bryant.webtv.net [207.79.35.91]) by postoffice-152.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.5/po.gso.24Feb98) with ESMTP id NAA21694; Wed, 22 Jul 1998 13:37:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [192.147.236.1]) by mailsorter-101.iap.bryant.webtv.net (8.8.8/ms.gso.01Apr98) with ESMTP id NAA08370; Wed, 22 Jul 1998 13:37:56 -0700 (PDT) Received: from by mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (5.65/KJV) id AA21095 Wed, 22 Jul 98 11:49:33 -0700 Received: from scaup.prod.itd.earthlink.net by mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (5.65/KJV) id AA21089 Wed, 22 Jul 98 11:49:29 -0700 Received: from BDcolen.ccapr.com (ip193.an1-new-york4.ny.pub-ip.psi.net [38.26.12.193]) by scaup.prod.itd.earthlink.net (8.8.7/8.8.5) with SMTP id LAA23572 for <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us>; Wed, 22 Jul 1998 11:49:27 -0700 (PDT) From: "B.

The M7 s a Hasselblad! Makes the M6 look completely outdated (what at least it was since long). REPLY: Okay, so now I "get" the f4 problem. But the more I look at the photo of this monstrosity - I think a "kludge" is what our techno bretheren would call it - and read the "press release," the less I am able to get the point. It's a 35 mm with all the disadvantages of a 2 1/4 and none of the advantages. Or, it's a 2 1/4 with all of the disadvantages of 35mm and none of the advantages: * Only two lenses * "small" negative size * Slow lenses * A motor drive with fps speed you don't need on a panorama camera If you want the electronics and don't want to wait for the "M7," get a G2 outfit - at least you get more lenses, faster lenses. You want a Hassie, get one.... - --WebTV-Mail-1528557370-45--
