Felix, congrat. with your reborned Leica.

Re: "..never ever use those shutter releases..."

I use Tom A´s soft releases all the time, and i guess i gain a full stop in dark

conditions and has never heard that the soft releases should be "persona

non grata" ?

I don't understand why the G5 is the subject of so much interest. IMO the

Minolta Dimage 7, now 1 1/2 year old, still is the best proconsumer digital

camera. I had it for more than 1 year and its sublime. Never the less i can spot

the differences from the M in a nanosecond: (to sharp and plastic colours in

some kind of a digital way/meaning, and without PS one is f......).

My favorit "photo.net-uploader" at the moment is BTW shooting with that

camera: Robert Ottohall:

Karim, no offence. Managing double meanings is not and art, if we are talking

about ones native language. Never the less i'm not born yesterday. After

naming the tread and confirming the posting (no point of return), and

especially with that pict., my conclusion is.......... : self-induced !

What i called the thread is a direct translation from danish to english of what

the guy on the photo is doing, and was in my mind not related to anything

else. Karim, do you say hmmmmm, when Bob Dylan sings "Blowing in the

wind" ?

Pict. taken with a Sony Ericsson T610. Subject is a buddy on my the screen

while testing Apples new Video Ichat program. Beeing a member of mac.com

you just plug in a firewire enabled DV videocamera, and pling duplex sound

and exstreme good quality. Nothing to do with Leica, but .....<div></div>

Noddy, very nice picture. IMO "No words" is not limited to Leica pict. or

analog media.

Please guys, this is a Leica site. I guess most of us have a Digital Camera to

shoot a pict if we are in a hurry, and cant wait half and hour to develop a b&w

film, or need a jpeg or two to a website or a attached file.

Steve, i bought the book in London last month, (and James Lager Volume II)

and nearly had to pay overload when entering the plane home. In UK its

published by Thames & Hudson. ISBN 0-500-54267-8. At page 5 i can see

the following:

" French text translated from HCB: de qui s´agit-il? by Jane Brenton."

The old man Hunting in Northern Nigeria in 1957. I understand why these

guys was trown out of Africa in the sixties.<div></div>

Marcs pict remind mee of the Disney movie: "The beauti and the beast" !

I like the M7 to kiss the G5 and see what happens.

Why do i keep my M6 Ttl:

1) Price

2) Price

3) Price

4) I like to be the boss !

5) I dont like the M to be the boss.

Roger, i think you misquote me. I was talking about the quality of a wetprint

compared to a inkjetprint. My eyes tells me that this type of output is much better,

than any output coming from a digital camera, this includes streetphotos, but again

thats my opinion. I'm not talking about internetpicts; nobody can se the differents

between a digital camera and a largeformat camera.

Lets say a digital back for a R8 or R9 cost 2000 US dollars, and we are talking

about a changeable 10 megapixel back. Thats cheeper than bying a Nikon or

Canon high spec digital SLR-camerahouse. Thats IMO a huge progress for

owners of R-gear. Further, they dont need to invest in dual lenses. And the

dont need a truck to carry the gear around.

Re: the G5 topic, yes the Canon G's are very nice cameras, but please, we are

talking about computerpresentation on a 17 inch. LCD and outprints from a

inkjetprinter. I choose to believe, that our M-masterpieces coming from the wet

darkroom wil turn up much better than any of the pict made by any digital

camera, but (perhaps) the new Kodak digital camera (6000 US dollars).

US now produce computers as nice as the German M. PS will rock !!

" there's a 24 inside every 21, and a 24 inside every 28......as long as you are

prepared to crop a little bit "

Look at this pict from White Lion Pub in London, it's cropped from 21 to

approx. 24 mm. I dont like it. I'm quite sure that the distorsion would be non-

existing with a 24 mm or a 28 mm. But a 28 mm could not take this specific

pict. in the narrow street.
