[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just picked up the January issue of Réponses Photo this morning. It is a very interesting issue, with a cover theme of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. In addition, there is a comparison test of the Hexar RF vs. the M6. Their conclusion concerning the bodies: inconclusive, depends on one's preferences. Perhaps a bit of a cop-out, but the review is really well reasoned, and they are careful to consider all pro and cons. As for the lenses, they conclude that the Konica 28mm is clearly inferior to the Elmarit 28mm, the Konica 50mm is equal to the 50mm Summicron, and while their tests showed hardly any difference on the bench between the Konica 90mm and the 90mm Elmarit, they comment that on the light table, all three testers were able to pick out the slides taken with the Elmarit. I recommend this issue to all French-speaking LUGgers.
