[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks for looking up some of my stuff. Nope, not a M user, but an R4/8 user up until three years ago. Now a Canon Rebel/Leica glass shooter. So, there is Leica content there most of the time, though I do have a few auto everything lenses that I use when I think focusing will be an issue. I like the shot you posted, even with the perspective issue (for some). Short of a long cherry picker, (or a view camera) that's what you get. Looks like the low light performance is very good. Should really expand your photography. I am seriously looking at the D7000 (not 700 - can't afford that one) and Laitexing my Leica R glass as an option to get away from the Canon idiosyncrasy of metering with R glass.
