  1. Just bought an M6 with 50mm Summicron and was thinking of getting a 35mm as

    well, as I cannot afford to get the Leica version I was considering the

    Voigtlander 35mm F2.5 pancake lens, would any users give their opinions on

    this lens? Any example photos would be appreciated!

  2. My M6 and 50mm Summicron will be arriving tomorrow and as I already have a

    mass of Nikon gear have I gone crazy? I don't want to start a flame thread

    here but I'm going to Hong Kong soon and I thought I would spoil myself! I

    think I'll have to practice the film loading a bit as it can be a bit tricky,

    hope to post some pictures when get back! Oh dear I feel like a kid waiting

    for christmas. . .

  3. Hi all, my wife and I are going to Marseille at the end of september, I'm

    hoping to take some nice shots around the harbour. If anyone has been there

    recently can you recommend some interesting places? Any feedback would be very

    welcome. I'll only be shooting film, mostly Black and white.Thanks!

  4. I was in NY for 9 days and walked day and night with my F100 around my neck and felt safe, fantastic city! However Barcelona is a different story, one time while I was among a crowd someone tugged at my camera but I held firm and he ran off! I think if you just be vigilant and use common sense (unlike me) you should be fine.
  5. Hi Suchitra, I have this lens and it is very sharp from F2.8 onwards, I think it is the best value for money lens anywhere. The only downside is that it's entirely plastic but for $99 you can't complain. If you do a search on Photo.net for this lens there is a wealth of information about it.
  6. Hmm... Leica blows Canon out of the water? I dont use either system as I prefer Nikon but I've seen photos taken with the 85mmF1.2L and I don't think you can get any better, it's a fantastic lens! As for the 35mm F1.4L, IMO it is the sharpest lens I've seen and yes I've seen slides taken with summicrons and elmars etc... Don't get me wrong I love Leicas but IMO there is very little difference, if any, in lens quality of leica and the professional canon and nikon lenses.
  7. I have the F3hp and an FM2n. The FM2n is used with the 45mm F2.8P and is very compact but 99% of the time the F3hp is the first camera that I would take out with me! IMO the F3hp is one of the finest manual SLRs made, so it would be my choice.
