Outside of that they liked it.

Leica has said they're not going to be further involved with the 4/3 S system. We should take that to our own hearts. It came out with the X1. Its the only compact camera you can use for stock. That was announced today on the British Journal of Photography. I'd recommend you guys stop endlessly buying and selling and playing around with toy cameras. Especially rumors of them. Who cares? Non micro 4/3's went out because for half the image capture size you got......? You got nothing. The cameras were the same size if not bigger than existing and coming out 1.5 crop cameras. And they cost more. A 1.5 crop camera you can now use for sketching. And occasional serious image where a real compact camera really helped. 1x crop is what Barnack would be shooting if he was cruising the streets of Wetzlar and Cologne (K?ln) right now. If you guys were shooting film would you be out with a stupid Minox?!?!?! -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Philippe Amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2010 23:14:40 +0200 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] New 4/3 equipment? > > Could it be Kaufman's satisfactory solution for R users ? > > Ph > > Le 25 ao?t 10 ? 18:58, Jeffery Smith a ?crit : > >> >> The 4/3 rumor site has it that there is a rangefinder company ready >> to announce a 4/3 camera in the next few hours.
