"camera phone or bag of smack" Pure poetry Steve, pure poetry. God among men.

no.

This is a "catastrophic" problem in many digital cameras. If it turns on in the case, you've got a problem. I wouldn't blame it on Leica, or even Panasonic for that matter.

Sweet, dude!

I'm going to Montreal on Friday till Monday, what "must see" sights are there

to photograph? Any good used camera equipment stores? Thanks!

KEH would probably pay less, the prices certainly won't go up. But, for $75, wouldn't it be better to keep it and use it? BTW, where did you originally pay $800 for it, is that U.S. dollars?

Try contacting Dan Black, he usually has genuine Leitz adapters reasonably priced. danblackleica.com

Well I don't know what my time is worth, but I'm going to use some of it to make Jerry a "Best Response Of The Month" trophy.

Also helps if they stick their tongues out!<div></div>

If you think Luigi's prices are silly, you should see what Leica charges for their products!!! ; )

It's a great comparison, unless one is trying to say that they're similar in anyway.

It sounds like you've gotten this figured out already. I'm not really sure how one DSLR would necessarily complement a rangefinder better than another. The question would probably be better phrased as "which DSLR should I get" and posted in the digital, Nikon, or EOS forum.

This reminded me of Gene M.'s work with found film. It's run by a pnet member;

but I searched the archives and couldn't find a post related to it so thought

it may be of interest. Some pretty neat shots.... <A

Kind of reminds me of the pretentious/insipid artist statements that one reads in a coffee shop photography opening.

 

Still cool that people are talking about Tri-X though.

Paul, have you made a macro or hotkey on your computer yet that automatically recommends a IIIF+Elmar to posters? : )

tru dat!

Leica dealers sell M8s for $4795; they are obligated to do so. If you find one advertised for less, it's either imported for grey market sale (not elgible for U.S. passport warranty) Or just a flat out scam.

It may be sharp and contrasty, but you still have to focus it. ; )

I know it's a folder, but...

 

I had a Moskva 5 which was really an amazing performer. The 6x9 transparencies it produced were awesome. I used it all over Rome during my thanksgiving vacation, it easily fit into my coat pocket or camera bag. The only problem I've found with the Russian folders is although they cost $40-70 dollars, they usually need over $100 worth of work to make them dependable shooters. Still, to have a pocketable, high quality medium format camera for >200 is pretty good in my opinion.

I've had 3 or 4 done by Essex Camera Service in Carlstadt NJ. You can reach them by www.essexcamera.com.

Black and Nickel SCNOO for $50. Ended up selling it for $1050.

Ironically, despite complaints about their build quality relative to the Rokkors, all the Celtics are considerably better built than what's on the market today.

I've read on previous posts that using the tripod socket as a wrist strap attachment point is potentially harmful. I always carry my camera with the strap wrapped around my arm, with essentially all the weight on one lug. The reason I want to go to the wrist strap is that the neck strap frequently gets in the way when I bring the camera to my eye from being wrapped around my arm. Can anybody confirm whether it's harmful to use the single lug wrist strap? I'm pretty set on the idea, maybe I'll try it out a lot before my passport warranty runs out.

I'm looking for a wrist strap for my MP. I'm trying to avoid the $50 from

buying one from Luigi (I know his are worth it, but the rent's due) I found

this one on auction and wondered if anyone had used it. Item #320116335104 I'm

sure it won't be up to Mr. Crescenzi's standards, but perhaps it will be OK for

now.

Urban Outfitters target is people my age, then when I turn 25 I have to start going to accessorizing from anthropology, their sister company.
