<p>I am diving back in to DLSR because of using video.<br /> I heard that 7D has more control during shooting video than 60D but 60D has other newer features.</p>

<p>Anyone could provide some insights in to these two options?</p>

<p>Hi folks<br>

Looking for a scanner that can do a whole roll. Only one that I found is Nikon 5000 or V with roll adaptor. <br>

Anyone know other options?</p>

Thanks John

Do you know if there is a way for remote flash for Leica?

Cheers

<p>Have anyone used M9 with Canon or Nikon flash?<br>

I was reading the Leica magazine and they were showing how you can use either Canon or Nikon cable on X1. And I wanted to see if this is possible with M9. <br>

The end result, I want to use cable with a flash unit with my M9.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot folks. <br>

I mainly shoot with M9 right now but I do miss film. I wanted to as little money as I can to use my existing lens. <br>

Interesting thing someone told over the other night, M2 or M3 would be cheaper at initially but fixing it over time would cost more in comparison to getting a M6. For M2 or M3 owners, do you think its true?</p>

<p>I was thinking about getting a Leica M2 or M3 but I want to use my latest 35 and 50 lux ASPH on it. <br>

Would this work? Anything I should be aware of?<br>

Thank you</p>

<p>I am using M8 on a noctilux and find that focusing is off at infinity. In the focusing square, the image is off. I tried 35 Lux on it and it focuses on infinity. <br>

Is this common? I read some focusing issue with Noctilux and using on M8.<br>

I am using 1.4x magnifier. </p>

<p>I have xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. How much would you price these items?<br />

How would 35mm work with out coding? As you have said, it wouldnt really matter that much?</p>

<p>I am wondering if you are required to have your lenses 6bit coded to use on M8?<br>

What does 6bit coding work with M8? Besides detecting what you have on mounted? Framelines?</p>

<p>I have 35mm 1.4 ASPH and 50mm 1.4 non-ASPH but I have been itching to get a 50mm f1.0. Is it worth it to get 50mm f1.0 and sell both of my 35 and 50? If so how much do you think I could get? I have always shoot using daylight but I want to do more darker shooting at night but either lenses doesnt seem adequate. I havent done any high film speed then 400...</p>

<p>This is what I have.<br>

35mm f1.4 ASPH Serial 371XXXX no box or hood and just go it CLA by Leica (with little scuff marks and wear).<br>

50mm f1.4 Serial 390XXXX box, leather case, etc (looks brand new and works flawless).</p>

<p>Think I can get a 50mm f1.0 with these?</p>

<p>I am a hobbyist just shooting random maybe 1-2 rolls a month. And consider <br>

I did consider Epson V700 but I keep reading that it maybe ideal for med format but not for 35mm. But I think most of the folks in here who scan film are doing prints but I only do online display only so I really dont see the need for high end. There is another factor of color and how software it comes with interprets it. <br>

I recently used Nikon coolscan V but wasnt really impressed with it. Your question of PlusTek 7200 vs Epson V700 / V500 is valid. Most seems to be one or the either but have not seem clear compatibility. <br>

Alternatively, a member suggested ScanCafe http://www.scancafe.com/ but only downside is that you dont get the control over the actual scans. Seems reasonable, $0.25-0.29 per 35mm scan and $0.99 for med format.. I may try it to see.. I wished they did developing also but that may have its down side also..</p>

<p>What is the best scanner that can do both?<br>

Should I get a separate 35mm and another for med format only?<br>

I am guessing Nikon 9000 does both but really out of my price range.</p>

Anyone carry or have used cleaning pens? I want to get one but not sure which wont do more harm. I have asked the

stores and they all say the same thing; they are all good.

Anyone?

I shoot film (b/w and slides) and gave up digital. I guess I should really try both out. I have used a roll on testing it out. And

you are even luckier then I am having 3.

I am asking primary because I did a test shot using both and for the life of me I could not see a big difference.

Funny enough, 35mm 'lux ASPH doesnt seem to perform well as 50mm pre-ASPH (sharpness and bokeh). I have sent that lens in for

servicing wondering if there is something wrong with the lens.

I have both and wondering if it is worth keeping the ASPH since it is double the price of pre-ASPH.

Your thoughts and quality and sharpness?

I am not sure if this is an usual issue but I have not encountered this before

When I load in the film, I turn the quick winder it moves but not to zero and I can press the shutter release.

After that the electronics ceases to function with nothing in the view finder. At that point, I cant turn the

quick winder nor shutter press. I tried turning camera on and off but nothing.

I can only make it after I take out the battery (which i just replaced) and put them back in. It starts to work

again.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

I am just being stubborn and sending it to Leica

Should I be worried about lack of speed on Leuca 50/2?

That's the main reason for my choice on zeiss and cv also I can't afford price 50/1.4

Leica 35mm is my only lens and I was think of using opportunity to get a hold of 50mm

How does CV and Zeiss 50/1.5 compare to Leica 50/2?

What's a good rice for recent non-6bit Leica 50/2 used?

I am sending my Leica lens for servicing which is going to take 8 weeks (to Leica) and I need a temp lens. Leica

is 35mm 1.4 ASPH and I wanted to know what you guys thought on 50mm lens.

Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 Nokton vs Zeiss Ikon Standard 50mm f/1.5 C Sonnar T

or maybe get Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2 as temp?

thank you
