>Subject: [Leica] Why Ted prefers the 15mm on the M over R...
It's the delay .....
With that depth of field and the ability to get that close, 15mm pictures
are completely rearranging themselves all the time - just tilt the camera a
bit and your whole world has changed! The M camera lets you see what you're
getting and grab it as you see it rather than as you anticipate it happening
when you're on the move.
I like my heliar a great deal but don't carry it day to day. The most fun
I've had with it was running around photographing frisbee action on a lovely
hot day (remember them?). When the composition was right I was about 3 feet
from the running frisbee maniac so I had to dive in there. The Heliar takes
lovely (sometimes extremely weird) pictures and is sweat resistant.
