Uhooru Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 <p>Year end/beginning almost here. Just the right time to post your favorite photo. Some believe that Winter is a time (for us in the Northern Hemisphere) where life turns inward to nurture deep roots. This makes things sometimes difficult for us humans as this is also the holiday season for many and requires an external focus to get everything done. So here's a quiet, still, moment from a rainy early morning in Alameda (CA). <img src="http://farm1.staticflickr.com/27/99608969_d71c6c02f5_o.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mukul_dube Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 <p>Should there not be a separate section for cameras which are neither Leicas nor RFDRs and which do not fit elsewhere either? Maybe this matter has been discussed earlier: but I found nothing in a quick search.<br> Good picture, Richard G.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanford Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 <p>Mukul, in defense of Lumix on the Rangefinder Forum. It has always been my understanding that this forum is for "rangefinder type" cameras. Also, Panasonic probable produces more Leica branded cameras & lenses in one day than Leica produced in its entire history. Leica would no doubt have gone out of business long ago if not for the income generated from their association with Panasonic. Except for Canon & Nikon, many camera companies owe their existence to electronic companies. They are, after all, electronic imaging devices.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgerraty Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Thanks very much Mukul. I remember Soren used to post beautiful shots with his 'Vario-Elmar' and some of the best we see here are with a Canon 5dMkII. The Hexar is not a rangefinder but its size and fixed focal length are very much range- finder-like. We see certain types of picture here, never, especially now, the sort of extraordinary wild-life on the Nikon Wednesday Pic. Some of us post here every week and mostly but not always rangefinder shots. It's sometimes a long time between threads. I wouldn't want to see even one regular or new poster drop away. Interestingly the Nikon Weds pic is open to any shot with Nikon contribution, even just the scanner. I think Lex drew the line at a filter as the only Nikon component. (I don't have any filter, much less a Leica, on my Hexar.) The Pansonics are well in here by that thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 <p>I almost forgot the most important thing - one time at Pebble Beach someone looked at GF1 and asked "Hey, is that a Leica!?". </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie lemay Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Mukul, I think it's better to be inclusive, I consider myself primarily a Leica photographer, though I also shoot an E-P2 with Leica, Voigtlander and oher brand legacy lenses and sometimes the amazing Panasonic 20mm f1.7. I try to shoot something new every week and enjoy taking my various cameras out to play, so none of them feels neglected. I know that my rangefinder work is not in line with most others idea of RF subject matter, but this is the forum I feel afinity for. My "home," if you will, where I can be the odd relative and still feel welcome, because I share the same love for the expressive power of a special class of lenses and a type of camera that fosters spontenaety and asks us to imagine what an actual image might be compared to how we experience it in our viewfinders. Better to cherish these gifts others are willing to share and welcome them as honored guests at our weekly banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou_Meluso Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 <p>Canon P, Canon LTM 35mm f/2, Fuji Superia 400<br> At least a picture of a Leica, LOL! The times are changing, cameras are changing, we should embrace change. We that still like the traditional can still post and we can all enjoy the bounty of pictures. Rangefinders, rangefinder-hybrids, rangefinder-like...it's all good.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
