jay_. Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Can't wait for the Hermes edition in gray hammertone with Llama leather pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_fang Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I need to remember to avoid drinking anything when reading Erwin's "reports." Liquids are awful hard to clean off the edges of the screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svante.johansson Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 The data sheet for the new zoom is now available at the Leica company website. <br> <br> <a href="http://www.leica-camera.com/imperia/md/content/pdf/objektive/10.pdf">LINK</a> (617 kb pdf file) <br> <br> I have found that MTF graphs give a good indication of lens quality according to my preferences. I very much doubt that I will retire my 35-70 f4 in favour of this lens at three times the cost. <br> <br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno_menilli Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Svante You're right, it doesn't even have a 'macro' setting, which for me would have made the choice harder, as it is the 35-70 f/4 will stay. Regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svante.johansson Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Bruno, Yes, and I don�t think Erwin likes it very much either. He could hardly have chosen a less flattering image example. Regards, Svante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno_menilli Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Svente Having thought about it a bit more I think i'd be tempted to buy a Digilux 2, instead of this lens, and keep the other lenses I already have? Regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svante.johansson Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Bruno, I think as you, but I would want to handle the Digilux 2 before buying. Regards, Svante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
