[Leica] FS: All of my R gear (sadly!)

[drodgers at casefarms.com (David Rodgers)]

Mark,

I actually prefer the feel and operation of R lenses to Nikkors on my
D700. I have plenty of Nikkors that I can use. The novelty of using R
lenses wore off long ago, but I'm still using R glass, pretty much
exclusively. Plus, the ability to use R lenses on a camera capable of
performing at high ISO makes minor inconveniences -- like having to
shoot in A mode -- irrelevant. Not that low light performance is always
essential. I'm ordering a 16x24 inch print of the following image. The
original has impressive detail. (You can even see the flag stick on the
distant green). I have high expectations that the print will look
medium-format-ish.

Say but David I recall says you can see ok stopped down to f 5.6 or even
a
bit more and it all works out ok.

I'm still expecting a Fuji R.
