real problems with the camera, admitted by Leica, while merely gushing over some photos you took.

 

At least Andy has taken some pics with it. For most i suspect they have bought it as a piece of designer jewellery the pixs it takes would be of little consequence.

 

I'm sure Leica are very thankful for a strong marketing team.

There are way more interesting things to photograph in India than Indians looking like, well, Indians.

 

Strange what are they supposed to look like Africans? What is more interesting than the people and the culture of a country.

 

Interesting post enjoyable pixs and looking forward to the next update.

If the pixs are what really matters then this is a very nice camera.

Very nice pic Roger very sharp with lovely tones. I wonder why there is not more interest in this camera from Leica users. If i was a more competent photographer with a bit more cash to spend i would buy one. Your photograph looks as good or better than anything i've seen from the M8 as yet.

What I don't have is his/her (yes, bisexual name

 

I'm confused why do you need a bisexual name. Were you both bisexual people with pet names?

Thanks for the all the excellent advice.

 

I think i will go for the CM althought the improvements over the Minilux seem minor they add up to be significant.

 

I'm also wondering if there is a significant quality drop between the standard lens and the zoom.

Has the Minulux got the same lens as the CM ?

I'm wondering if the CM is worth the extra cash over the Minilux. Will i

notice a quality difference in build and images.

 

Thanks.

I don't "hang around here", as you so nicely put it:

 

You must live a very sheltered life if a few words are so upsetting to you. Perhaps you are an academic living in cloistered hallowed halls.

LUF is much better

 

Then why do you hang around here if you have found your little paradise? or do you just like complaining about everything and everyone.

 

If someone is charging for a review and it proves to be biased they should be expected to be challenged.

is the number of people who haven't yet taken delivery but are planning to do so despite the unsolved issues.

 

Only if they are going to us them to take pics.

Interesting person

Not as good as your first one Andy and it has blown highlights which i'm told is mostly a problem of digital photography. Thanks for posting both so i could compare.

 

I'm wondering if color film has a greater tonal range than BW film.

Than taken in BW to clarify.

Elmar, gotta love um

 

This one. But i have seen other pics taken in color converted to BW which seem to be more tonal and smoother at least on a computer screen.

Leica IIf, 50mm Elmar Fuji Reala

 

Is it my lack of experience or do the converted color versions look my Leica/Film like in terms of tonality and smoothness. That is how it looks to me after looking at the above pics.

How do you tell anything from these small low quality shots on this forum?

 

A person called Jonathan claimed he could when he looked at a pic by Ray on another posting. He was very sure about it when he was told it was a Leica pic. It seems that others on this posting were equally sure when they were told it was a Leica pic.

 

They have become very upset when they realized they have been duped.

I'm only a learner but in does look like digi. If it is there are going to be a few with custard pie over their face.

 

From my photographic studies of more importance than process is content,light and backroom skills. Film or digital takes a back seat.

Good one Randy nice and sharp with pleasing tonality.

Joseph i'm not much of a photographer still on a big learning curve but i don't consider you much of a photographer either. People like us should really try to keep our mouths shut and try to learn something. Being ill mannered to other people about their work is not helpful to ourselves or anyone else.

 

Hot air comes from two orifices try to use the correct one.

That 's a good pic what exposure and film did you use? What model Leica and what lens.

A friend of a friend of mine who's friend of a pro shooter told my friend he had got 269,000 exposures out of a 10D before he junked it. He also claimed he got 598,000 exposures out of a D100 before it went the same way. I cannot verify the truth of these statements.

He seems to have generated a lot of good natured humour i would have liked to have seen some of his pics.

For the most part, they are those companies lenses only by name

 

If they have the Leica name then they must be a Leica lens. How could they be anything else or am i missing something.

Thank you for you answers.

 

I'm interested in Leica because of the quality of the lenses. The digital versions seem to be very cheap which attracts me. The older film cams are also interesting and scanning also seems a good option. I'm seriously thinking of buying a Panasonic digital with a Leica lens.
