oceanphysics Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I don't have time to read the article and it looks boring as hell. But anyone who thinks that's a legitimate quote at the top has a deficit of common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len_smith Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 The article on the "Online Photographer" site is full of pretentious twaddle. How appropriate to head it up with a quotation that someone made up for a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 The quote seems to have been appropriately deleted. I'd like the mods to delete this thread as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_kincaid1 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 The whole thread seems to be quite out of date. And not very funny either. It's now quite obvious that for color work the M8 requires the use of an IR filter. Much of the color criticism applies to the M8 without the lens filter. Finally, I noticed that a few responded to the comment that "but my experience so far is that digital de-emphasizes the importance of optics to the final result." This is just silly. It ignores 100 years of work on lens development. Digital cameras don't need high quality lenses? The M8 actually matches the high quality of the Leica lenses, which is saying a lot.
