<p>Very, very nice.</p>
-
<p>Just get the shutter repaired. Send it to Paul Ebel in Wisconsin.</p>
-
<p>I was actually pretty lost.</p>
-
<p>You have one in your hands but you can't seem to find one anywhere?</p>
-
<p>What can't you seem to find anywhere?</p>
-
<p>Did you take that in Providence?</p>
-
<p>Cosina made the Koniica Hexar RF? Where di you hear that?</p>
-
<p>I use Bay70 to 77mm on my 110 F lens and the hood fits over it.</p>

<p>He's talking about the older, original Rollei close-up sets, where the close-up lens was one unit and the prism to correct parralax was a separate unit. So you can use the prism without the close-up lens.</p>

<p>Since slide film, that is Kodachrome, wasn't developed until more than a decade later, Leitz decided to wait before releasing their line of slide projectors.</p>

<p>The film holder slips in under the groundglass.</p>

<p>It's Bayonet II, for the 3.5F Planar and Xenotar.</p>
-
<p>The Mutar 1.5x extends the minimum focus distance, unfortunately. I think it extends it 1.5x.</p>

<p>Once you've handled and used them both, your choice will be easy, even inevitable: Rollei. There really is no comparison in design, quality and workmanship of the cameras and the quality of the pictures they produce. Rollei is simply superior in every way.</p>

<p>The Rolleisoft.</p>

<p>White House Color, whcc.com, does up to 30x40 and doesn't charge for shipping.</p>
-
<p>B&H carries them.</p>

<p>I think what Picassa shows you is the JPEG, not the NEF file.</p>
-
<p>You got the lens next month? I think that's your problem.</p>
-
<p>In my experience, the R lenses are noticably sharper than the M lenses.</p>

<p>I have used the 35-70/4 Vario-Elmar-R for several years, and it is, quite simply, the best zoom lens I've ever used and one of the best lenses of any kind I've ever used. Especially wonderful is its physical design and build: the lenshood varies its depth to match the focal length you've zoomed to. And it does this without moving! And zoom and focus are extremely smooth and predictable. The optical quality is stunning -- every bit as good as the Leica primes.</p>

<p>The all-time champion of the kind of image you are describing is the 35mm Summicron-R, especially when used wide open at f2 or stopped down to f2.8. This lens is legendary for its smooth out of focus backgrounds.</p>
-
<p>Which ever one you get, after you use it for a short while, you'll go back to the Rollei.</p>

<p>Was that picture shot with an M9? </p>
Which Leica R body to purchase, R7 or R8 ?
in Leica and Rangefinders
