+1 But really ~ the Fuji's obviously a nice lens, but, when you put it up against the Leica? The Fuji couldn't even resolve the pigeon at the bottom of the right edge in the Leica frame! OTOH, do you think it might have been the Zeiss glass on the Leica? :rolleyes: Irenaeus

If there is, I want to know about it! Better yet would be a user's manual written by USERS. hint, hint, hint...

So upsetting!.... OTOH, you could try using it blind, with no chimping possible, as some people say they'd prefer to work. With all those refractions and light leaks you could give Lomography a run for its money! It could even be the start of a whole new cottage industry and I could...

Might you be interested in selling one of the viewfinders separately? If so, what would you need to get for it? Hope Ruby's surgery goes well. All the best, Irenaeus

25/1.4 I'll take your 25/1.4 for micro four thirds if it's still available. Can purchase immediately. I've got excellent feedback on ebay as cqiona (Can't figure out how to PM you here but you can email me at tkturnbull at yahoo dot com!) All the best, Irenaeus

That's true! Marvelous pictures ~ wonderful window into lives! thank you so very much... Irenaeus

Amin ~ I remember that the LC1 or Digilux 2 were once your favorite cameras. The x10 has a 2/3 sensor, which, if memory serves, is the same size as those older siblings. I've got an LC1 and would be extremely interested in any comments you might care to make comparing it with the x10. Thanks...

"Will has a thread just for this." I was just thinking I'd like to get all these settings collected in one place! Maybe Will has done it already.Could you give me the link so I could take a look, please? Thanks, He Who May Be Returning From Lurkdom With Nothing Much To Show For His Absence...

Wonderful pictures, Cristian! What brand of umbrella did you use to take them with? Hope you'll be doing a full scale review of it on your blog soon...:biggrin:

Thanks, Streetshooter, that answers my question perfectly. I'll go with the LR version. All the best ~ and a thankful Thanksgiving to us all!

I'm sold on the pictures I've seen processed with Silver Efex in B/W; my question amplifies this one. I do have Photoshop cs5 and Lightroom 3 (though I've not yet installed them on my new refurbished Mac Pro.) is the extra cost worth it to buy the Complete Edition for Photoshop, Aperture and...

Great stuff, stratocaster ~ what a wonderful way to spend your youthful hours! Just to find that out would have been well worth the (admittedly miniscule) effort of starting this thread! Here's another thought from me, and in haiku's 17 syllables, though after the poetry you have shared...

thanks to each and every one! these are great answers ~ cummins and yeats were old friends, and frost I knew, of course. i'd never seen that poem by herman hesse, however, though i loved reading his siddharta many years ago and this particular piece rings a certain resonance in my own life...

Here's a question for you: what camera or cameras would our best poets use? Emily Dickinson, for instance, who wrote: To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few. Here's another: If mulling over this question...

A beautiful picture that both draws one in and leads one out! My eye comes in the partially open gate to the brighter leaves and then out into the welcoming distance. My first moving into it was very dynamic ~ scintillating, even, with the curve of the gate drawing down to the left, only to rise...
