Interesting. Can it be viewed as a typical WL finder - from above the camera? Does it work in

the field? I am game for $35 How do we order it, etc? Thanks

Please help me out with the Hassy SWC photo. What is the hand reflected through? Is that a

90 degree finder of some type? I am serious in my question. I would like to find one. Thanks

for allowing the words.

Happy Healthy and Prosperous in the New year for all of us. One more year in the statute of

limitations bites the dust.

The danger for Leica is self founded. My 50 year old Leicas can take advantage of every new

emulsion developed by Koday, Fuji, et al. No obsolesence when new stock was developed.

My new 2006 Digi-M7 will be viable only ontil the 15mp is developed or the full frame

sensor. The amortization of digital bodies is very quick in the digital world. I was hoping for a

moodular sensor but to no avail. Just my personal concern.

Chill guys. My post was a wish for peace. My comment about the oil guys had no implication

to killing - just a different value set.

And my thoughts of suicide murderers is universally held.

A Leica Drs. bag with side pockets to keep it in. I loaded mine with Domke inserts. A very

classy, contemporary storage system.

My wish for today, the very rare simultaneous celebration of Chanukah and Christmas, is to

put down the guns and suicide belts for one day and listen to each other. Maybe we'll learn

we all want the same thing (except for the guys in the oil business).

Happy Festivis!

Panasonic makes a wonderful Lumix case for the LX1. It compresses around the shaape of

the camera - nothing extra. It has a carbiner type of attachment on the back. I bought it on

ebay for around $30 from hong kong. Arrived in 10 days. More compact than the lowepro

which is a nice alternative.

By the way - I had both the D2 and LX1 - I returned the D2 and saved $300++.

Its now the most "in demand" camera in my houehold. In digital stuff we have a D70 and a

canon sd500. I am almost contemplating a second one.

The same thing happened to my lens. I don't know hoe the filter got smashed though.

I sent the lens in for the filter to be machined off and the lens set straight after it started to

rotate. The whole job took a few days total and about $60 if i recall. Bottom line is get it done

right the first time.

I love Leica cameras. I own them. I've overpaid for them. I use them. After saying that I can add - - -

What a crock!

There are two RD IIf Leicas. One has a 1/500 and the other a 1/1000 top speed. Which did

you buy? Its a great deal in any event. The cleanest and most elegant in my opinion. I have

one rhat I put a 21mm CV lens and VF on and use all the time. Get a wrist strap from Gordy

and it will becoome an extension of your hand. Enjot it.

I did not want to start a war here. I just got excited by what's in store next year. My info

source may be validated by others,

all glasswill work but not full frame sensor. 1.3X factor, no separate back-digital only, 2mm

thicker, resolution not confirmed, full VF/RF with lcd.

start saving $4,000 to $5,000 between now and Photokina next September. That's one

birthday and one hoiday present away from now or $400 per month. Start saving now!

Its a strange sensation when you trans view both shots quickly. The motion in the first

juxtaposed wwith the tranquility of the boat and bay. Nice work.
