robweatherburn Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Posted those two images because I love the way the older lenses capture and register the quality of light. I hope those images show that well - despite the poor size and resolution. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christopher_a._junker1 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Paul, Rob's images are as nice as the 1958 Mercedes Benz 220S sedan that was my honeymoon car. Sold the car, but 38 years later still have the girl and the honeymoon Leica IIIg and Elmar 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35mmdelux Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 CJ: Maybe 34 years from now I can tell my two year old the same about my BMW and Leica M6 Classic. Well done CJ - my hat is off to you! Best - Paul (foto is soft but I shoot for myself and my preferences)<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vahe_sahakian Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 "similar to driving an old mercedes." A little off topic, but I drive a 30 year old Mercedes diesel with 350K miles on it, I see many parallels between this car and my Leica IIIf RD/ST, both are totally mechanical, both are grossly overdesigned and both will outlast me regardless of how many years I live and finally both represent the now extinct "non disposable" design philosophy.
