[Leica] D700 50'cron update

[drodgers at casefarms.com (David Rodgers)]

Jayanand,

I understand your point. However, the concept of need is irrelevant. In
the end I don't really need to take photographs at all. I only need
food, shelter and clothing, and since I don't generate material revenue
from photography, one doesn't contribute to acquiring the other. :-)

The reason I use Leica lenses is because I like using them. It's that
simple. But I've also discovered some practical reasons, such as my
batteries last longer when I'm not using autofocus Nikkors. Also,
sometimes I find the OOF areas of Nikkor lenses a little....for lack of
a better word, ugly at times. That's not an issue with the picture I
posted, certainly. But with some images I took a few hours later it was.

Dave,
Nice shot, but why do you need a Leica lens for shots like these? A
Nikon
50mm would work just as well, and one of them costs USD100 or so.
Cheers
