<p>Leica M8, ZM 18/4 Distagon.</p><div></div>

<p>The Leica website has a page with the different views and magnifications of their various viewfinders. If you go to the ala carte section and configure a camera, you can see the differences between the viewfinders.</p>

<p>I have owned all 3 LX models. By far the fastest, no shutter lag, is the LX1. The LX2 was <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=excruciatingly">excruciatingly</a> slow. The LX3 does have shutter lag, not as bad as the LX2, though not as quick as the LX1. I've kept it because the image quality is just superb!</p>

<p>I bought a BGN 135/3.5 Canon Serenar from them. Really quite nice. Glass is clean and free from scratches. Exterior is excellent.</p>

<p>Love the faux wood grain. A Nazi trade secret?!</p>

<p>Was it an off brand battery or a genuine Leica battery? I only use the Leica batteries. I have two off brand that I bought off ebay and they didn't last. Both of them died while in the camera. I pulled the camera from my bag and it was very warm to the touch. The camera wouldn't turn on. Dead battery. I put in a freshly charged Leica brand battery and it was fine. The off brands will not hold a charge anymore. Not worth the trouble.</p>

<p>Jared, any camera for the street is perfect if it is something that you would actually use. There are a lot of street photographers that use pocket digital or film cameras like the Ricoh GR series. </p>

<p>John will not remove the mount. He requests that you send the lens flange only. </p>

<p>I love my Elmar-C. Small, light, sharp.</p>

<p>Yes, this lens is big, clunky, but I love the files produced by it on the M8. </p><div></div>

<p>Take Out.</p><div></div>

<p>Look at the boy's..</p>

<p>Where did you get them? What do they charge to convert lenses Raid?</p>

<p>"According to Epson UK, the R-D1x is being released only in Japan and there are no plans for a European release."</p>

<p>This is from DP Review.</p>

<p>Jonathan, a 39mm UV/IR filter will fit within the petals of the front of the lens. I used a little black electrician's tape on the filter ring to make a snug fit. Works!</p>

<p>Corner of Canal and Baxter Streets. </p><div></div>

<p>I use the 135 "bug eye" on my M8. It produces wonderful files. It is not hard after a couple of exposures to fine tune the view. </p>

<p>I have found the Panasonic lenses are undoubtedly the best option for the G1, especially the 14-45. I was hoping to see some differences using rangefinder glass, and I do not notice any differences over the Panasonic glass with the chip in the G1. As a matter of fact, I have been disappointed. <br>

For me, Leitz, CV, and Zeiss glass are best on the RD-1 and M8.</p>
