So grabbing the 21 instead of the 24 would be no big deal. Problem is what you do when you wanted the effect of the full 21. You'd need to get something wider. Which sooner or later id do anyway. My way of getting into digital was to go Nikon. And I ended up shooting wider than 21 pretty fast. Going digital got me into ultrawide as in wider than 21. Would not have happened I don't think if digital didn't happen for me. I've said the same many a time "The M9 had better be full frame...." But I really think it needs to be soon. Maybe Leica will surprise as and the M8.2 will be full frame. With all this other amazing news it would fit right in. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: <red735i@earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2008 22:27:34 -0400 (EDT) > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: Drowning men - was Re: [Leica] Surprises at Photokina > > Mark.. a 21 lens at F1.4 would have much the same DOF as a 24 at F2.8 ( I > do > not have the DOF tables handy, but it sounds about right....) > > The problem with the M8 is that to get a 24mm Angle of view on a 35 full > frame, a 21 lens must be used with the M8... so you never get more DOF > isolation than you would with film on a M6 and a 24mm lens. > > The M9 had better be full frame.... > > Frank > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
