<p>Plastic doesn't always equal bad. </p>
-
<p>These aren't rangefinders though...</p>
-
<p>You really had to ask this?</p>
-
<p>Panasonic LX5 or GF1?</p>
-
<p>I would look at a used Olympus E-P1. There is no sense messing with a sensor smaller than u4/3 these days. </p>
-
<p>I agree Peter Mann. </p>
-
<p>The GF-1 is the better deal, that's for sure. However, as an X1 owner, I chose it because of the dedicated shutter speed / aperture dials and simplified menus. <br>
To the OP, you can't go wrong either way really. If interchangable lenses and fast AF are your priorities, the GF-1... if you want a digital with one foot in Leica's past, you get the X1. </p>

<p>Does printspace do scanning onto a CD?</p>

<p>I'm selling a user body (works great but doesn't look great, not horrible though) and excellent condition f/1.8 lens for $300 shipped in the USA if anyone is interested... <a href="mailto:taco6@yahoo.com">taco6@yahoo.com</a></p>

<p>You can try the lightroom 3 beta for free right now until April 2010. Also, Apple offers a free trial of Aperture 2 for 30 days. </p>
-
<p>I'd say grab a Panasonic GF-1 and be done with it. </p>
-
<p>Why would someone leave their camera and then not even bother to call to find out if someone found it... that seems odd. Maybe they just assumed it was gone at that point. </p>
-
<p>I never, ever see another Leica M photographer in NYC except the occasional tourist. I wish I could meet some locals with Ms. </p>
-
<p>I'm in the same boat. How does it compare with the Dell 2209WA and the HP LP2475w?</p>

<p>Well, I used a third party battery (not the one linked to) and it gave me all types of issues. It just made my M8 bug out. It would lock up, corrupt my memory card, last for only like 30 minutes, etc. Bought a Leica branded battery and my M8 works perfectly. I would only use the third party batteries in an emergency and after testing them for days. </p>

<p>Deb, do what you want with it. It is worth more than you expected and if it isn't your thing, I wouldn't want something worth $5000+ just sitting around collecting dust like it has for 10 years. If someone gave me something worth a lot of money that I couldn't appreciate and they were ok with me selling it, I'd sell it. I would take the advice with regards to prices on these forums, but not on keeping it if you have no interest. The best camera is the one you are going to use, not the one that makes photo geeks drool. My only advice would be to not spend it all on a digital camera... </p>

<p>I'm not rich. I bought my M8 used because I was a used film M user for a long time. Once I wanted to go digital, I knew it had to be an M. I prefer classic style controls, manual focus, and no nonsense menus... Leica offers this. DSLRs always stayed home... the M comes with me. </p>

<p>Keith, who are these two japanese companies that are leading the way? The only digital rangefinders on the market are offered by epson and leica. Only one of those is japanese. The X1, GF-1, and E-P1/2 are not rangefinders. </p>

<p>These tiny, cheap Voigtlander lenses are hard to pass up... especially for M8 users. The 25mm is my latest lens. However, what sucks about the 15mm and 21mm for M8 users is that the included VF will not work, you need to buy a separate VF (21mm and 28mm). </p>
-
<p>On the M8, the 21mm is a 28mm... so, if you want a really wide lens on the M8, you need to get the 15mm (20mm) IMHO. </p>
-
<p>Would be the perfect lens for the M8... 37mm f/1.4... nice. Too bad it would be crazy loot. </p>
-
<p>The Viewfinder works great... very accurate. </p>

<p>Yashica EZ F521</p>

<p>Thye made their low-end camera... it's called the X1! ;)</p>

in Leica and Rangefinders
