I am most interested in hearing this from people who learned photography on SLRs, not so much people for whom RFs are easier because that was the only thing available in 35mm when they started. While I have no doubt about the superiority of an RF for wide-angles, I have serious doubts that an RF is a more functional setup when using lenses that are not retrofocus on SLRs - like stuff 50mm and up. I don't think that the optical quality or the composition control gives any edge to RF systems. That's not to say I don't have 3 telephotos for rangefinders. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
