[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]this weekend i'll be in boston spilling beer on my leica with members of the BLUG. i need to know what lenses should i take with me. i hear that boston is a completely different focal length from anyplace else i've ever been and that the laws of refracton are entirely different there, making everything i know about photography in philadelphia useless. (apparantly things that are close up there look far away and things that are far look close and blue filters give a red tint.) i'm also afraid that there might be local ordinances forbidding the use of certian lenses. here's a list of all the equipment i own: 1 black leica m6 (1988 model that just says M6 on the front, heavy chroming around the top, serial number filed off by some jerk long before i got it, big ding on bottom plate from when i dropped it off a roof while photographing bats coming out of a chimney). 1 28mm f 2.8 rokkor (slight nick on filter ring) in M bayonet mount. 1 front lenscap for the rokkor in a+ condition. 1 cannon 1.8 serenar in LTM mount, currently w/ LTM to bayonet adapter. 1 Hello Kitty plush toy. 2 Leica bayonet rear lens caps. 1 Tamrac canvass camera strap (black). 1 no-name camera bag (black). 1 copy of "Nan Golden Portfolio" published in softcover by that german company, has a full page ad for the Leica M6 on page 41 and picture of Nan in a bar on pages 71 and 72 where she's holding a black leica with a flash - -- looks like an m6. 1 extra red dot saying "Leica" on the front that i got at a yard sale about 4 years ago. 1 box for Leica MC meter (empty). 1 front shade marked "leitz" which doesn't fit either of my lenses (don't know where it came from). 1 80-200 f 2.8 (nikon) 1 20mm f 2.8 (nikon mount) 1 nikon sb12 flash (fits f3) thanks for your advice. kc
