    Leica How much is that Leica in the window?

    thanks a lot! I dived very deep into bicycles...... the old path-racers, or better, the french types of 'Randonneurs' with their little front carriers and hammered fenders (Lefol). Must make some pictures when I'm ready..... ;-)

    Leica Detailed review of the Leica M Monochrom

    mmhh Brian, a brave decision....... For me b&w is film, is grain, it's the style of photography of the roaring 70s, it's the imperfection, it's like looking at the brush-stripes on an oil painting..... The diversity of filmmaterial is like hearing different voices with different timbres...

    Nikon Who got a Nikon V1 and still has it?

    Bill, what's going wrong with m4/3? Now Oly has a very impressive OM-D which is better as similar cams including the Leica X1/2 and your 'stuff' (of m4/3 lenses) will get a new life. Plus your Nikon lenses as well...... Yesterday I grabed the Oly - the only small drawback for me is the tiny...

    I'll add two new Michelin tires with tubes. Not really needed but good to have...... The throttle from this model is like 'cruise control': when you do just steering, the throttle is full. By pulling the left (front) brake the brake cable makes a twist around a curve at the carburettor and...

    Bill, I have a phantastic Solex 3300 from France in almost mint condition.....Bought it at Noirmoutier 10 years ago, got some service until the garage owner went into retirement. It's a cool machine with key lock handlebar and the bidon to get 1 ltr. 2 stroke fuel for long distance...

    Leica Leica to sell Black and White sensor "M" camera? (rumor)

    Hi, I'm not so optimistic about this cam, because......it's from Leica....... ;-) Why? With the first glance it looks terrific to offer such a b&w shooters dream, but until now the over all adjustments as there are tuning the sensor to appropriate wavelengths etc. isn't solved by Leica. All...

    SD Card Woes -- HELP!!!

    Sorry to hear this Armanius! Honestly I'm thinking that Leica really doesn't know what they are doing in terms of electronics and software, sorry. At first they blaimed Sandisk and later they had to apologize because millions of Sandisk cards are working...in different cameras. Appr. one year...

    Any Other Hobbies ?

    As a kid of around 13 I learned waterski behind an GRP boat with a 20 hp Crescent outboarder. Later on a Lanaverre saildinghi, the 420 was my main boat. In 1974 a Hobie cat, the Hobie 14 brought more thrill on the water. I never capsized more but with this cat.......lot's of fun at the Cote Azur...

    Ricoh GXR Mount A12 Pictures

    Great shots Armanius! It seems that you are beginning to master the new way of focusing. My efforts to get sharp photos from objects 2 - 5 meters away are not so good when I look at my camera display. These shots I have to check now in LR to get a better screen resolution. The lens with b&w film...

    Ricoh GXR Mount A12 Pictures

    Armanius, congrats for your new system! Having the same problems with focusing in both modes I put this to the smaller opening of my f4 21mm VC. The transition of the areas of edge pronounciation comes very 'soft' - it's not the 'jumping' sharpness from good SLRs screens. Other users told me...

    Ricoh GXR Mount A12 Pictures

    The lack of Sonys NEX system is the absence of lenses in the quality of the 28 and 50mm module. Their zooms are much bigger and the not existing support in body for adapted lenses makes the NEX a weaker system in my eyes. Sensor quality is very good but a chain is so strong as it's weakest...

    Ricoh Random thought: would you buy a Sigma Foveon Lensor for the GXR system?

    The requested Foveon sensor makes sense in terms of connectivity when put in a M mount. Ohterwise what kind of lens- length this module should have? So this other sensor is in a competition with the other CMOS sensor of the 'original' mount for Ms. But we need a different workflow and software...

    Film What Film Cameras do you use?

    Antonio, in the last 5 years I checked my skills in RF photography with an M6, M7 and MP. The last was the best looking, smooth and heavy cam and the M7 was blinky-blinky in the RF window. None of the Leicas gave me the feeling "Booahhh - what a cam - I may dy for..." Sold all of them and now I...
