Guess you don't get out much, eh? Every heard of the GR-1? V? S? Helps at least to do SOME

homework before you post...

Wow, that is much better than before! The red and grey before looked like a kids toy (laser

tag to be specific). That said, the camera is going to be great. I had a chance to check out

the prototype (a mock up) at Photo Plus a few weeks ago and the ergonomics feel

excellent. The grip feels nice.

Stuart,

Did you get to play with the functioning one at the Horseman booth? Very nice...

Duh... guess I should have been more specific. I'm not really interested in touristy areas.

More like side streets, late nights, tranny bars, whatever. The more bizarre the better.

Any photo/art galleries anyone can recommend? I'm also into book arts, so paper stores, etc.

would be cool.

I'll be in Utsunomiya for part of a week (at Canon), so maybe I'll hit the temples up that way.

Anyway, thanks for all the info!

>>Nobody has received an M8 with the finalized firmware yet.

>Apparently a spokesman for leica now...

Hey look, another drive by spamming by a guy who doesn't own a Leica, doesn't want a Leica,

and just likes to insult people in the forum. Surprise, surprise.

how yar bin?

Doing well, Craig, doing well. And you? How is it down under?

I got a call from a coworker tonight. He was walking in NYC and saw a guy with an M8. Chatted with him

briefly about it... said it looked solid. I wonder how many pre-launch models are floating around?

I wonder how long it will take for a full frame version...

Hey guys,

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be rigging something up.

Thanks for the link, Piotr. I doubt it will last long here...

>>"Is this a Leica Forum Q?"

>What kind of question is that?

A typically lame one--not surprising.

I picked up a 1600A dirt cheap and would like to play with some fill flash. Anyone know if there is a

diffuser/Sto-fen that will fit? If not, I guess I'll rig something...

Thanks

>Jerry,

>Read the orginal post again.

Good luck... reading and comprehending are two different things...

>Don E., lets face it, Leica isn't taking the digital market as seriously as they should

Really? Maybe you should check out Photokina for the M8. You might want to educate

yourself at the Leica forum or the Rangefinder Forum site.

>The human way of seeing is rectangular, not square.

Actually, it would be more oblong. A single eye sees about 140 degrees horizontal and 90

degrees vertical. It isn't sharp like a rectangle. The area of fovea is more round--more like

a square than a rectangle.

>T.V.'s are rectangular, not squre.

He wasn't asking about projection systems--a discussion of prints would be more

relevant. But it you recall, many early televisions had a round screen. Geometrically closer

to a square than a rectangle.

And another dead liver signs off...

Why didn't you just try to sell it here? It probably would have been snapped up. No lying

required.
