[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Ken, see the pic I sent. Reading on the aus site. The external finder has a frameline for 24mm equivalent on a 35mm film camera. Is that what you meant? It would be perfect with my 18mm. Zeiss wants more than 600 bucks for their 28/24 finder here! 370US at popflash I think. That's still a lot, It is a great finder though but the voigtlanders are very good especially the 28 I have (finder that is) Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ken Carney Sent: Saturday, 30 August 2008 10:01 To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] OT equipment inquiry--Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 >From the DP site it seems the viewfinder will be 24 and 35mm equivalent?? I wonder if you can set the camera to be 24 or 35. Or will it turn off after a few minutes requiring a re-do? Sounds interesting for something to always have with you.
