<p>Kids at play.</p><div></div>

<p>I just wondered what it would look like in B&W and some of the distracting elements removed. I hope I did not offend Mr. Bayer by manipulating his photo's. I apologize if I did. His shots were excellent.</p><div></div>

<p>Retouched and cropped.</p><div></div>

<p>More shadow detail?</p><div></div>

<p>Better?</p><div></div>

<p>Actually I love the camera very much. The viewfinder is not that bad since I only use it for a walk-around camera. The optical performance is better than most of it kind. I had a Contax T2 and found it unusable as an autofocus camera. The focusing was too slow. The CM Zoom gives me excellent results.</p>

<p>Michel Galileo said I should buy a zoom viewfinder for my Leica CM Zoom, well, it just came in the mail. Thanks for the advice Michel.</p><div></div>

<p>Oops! I found the zoom.</p><div></div>

<p>Is Michel a boy's name? I'll be damned, there is a viewfinder in the CM Zoom. Now all I need is to figure out how to work the zoom. Does the Leica M8.2 have a built-in viewfinder?</p>

<p>Lucky you, the last one.</p><div></div>

<p>More.</p>

<p>More.</p><div></div>

<p>Another.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Jordan. The viewfinder on the CM Zoom is small and I think the 35mm finder will fill my needs since the bulk of my outdoor shooting is at that focal length. I'm posting some shots taken with the CM Zoom, let me know what you think.</p>

<p>George</p><div></div>

<p>Which 35mm shoemount viewfinder is best for my CM Zoom? The flash shoe is not centered with the lens, is this a problem?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I'm not getting a Leica M8 from anyone, so BAH HUMBUG.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I am considering selling my CM Zoom Leica film camera but don't know what a fair asking price is. I was thinking in the range of $650-$750. Is that too much or am I wasting my time?</p>

<p>I would like to hear from Leica CM Zoom owners what they think of their camera. I have a chance to buy one and want to know if I am making the right choice.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Other than Photo.net, where can I list my Minilux Data Back for sale?</p>

<p>Can anyone please tell me if the Minilux flash sync speed goes up to 1/400th ? If you know the speed, I need to know.</p>

<p>What is a fair price for a mint Leica CM Zoom? I am considering buying one.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Here is a photo shot with a Nikon 28-70Ws P&S with Ilford XP-2 developed by a Costco Lab and scanned to a disk. I paid $10 shipped off of Ebay.</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>I just bought a Nikon Lite Touch 70Ws on the Bay for $16 shipped. No manual with it but I Googled the specs and would like to know if anyone here has shot with this camera. Which color neg film and ISO is best to use with the slow shutter speed of the camera. Can I expect reasonably sharp results?</p>

I purchased a Nikon 28-70SW point and shoot film camera and shot a roll of 400 ISO color neg film. Had it developed and scanned to a disk at Costco. When I printed some of the files on my Epson 1400 the result were beautiful. Its like having a 24mp digital camera. I paid $16 shipped on Ebay. The camera is in mint condition. I'm looking around to see who made the best zoom p&s film cameras. I also shot a roll of 400 film in my old Olympus Stylus with the 35 2.8 and printed a very sharp virtually grain free 11X17. Go figure.

Is the Nikon P6000 a good choice? I want to hear from someone who actually uses one and can tell me if the

camera can output quality prints to 11X17 without excessive noise.
