Dear Guy, sounds good !!! I am waiting till Leica put the new software on his site.

 

Thanks and greetings, Rob.

 

off topic: you also visit ground zero ? That's a wish from us to go there once in our life ![/quote

 

Yes i did visit ground zero but i went there in early Dec of 2001 also. very sad place to visit at that time. I spent a lot of time in those towers when i was younger. i will say though the memorial is very well done and the photography is breath taking.

 

Thea and I want to go to that place. Thanks for your information.

That would be great !! the church was not destroyed but stood near the Twintowers ?

It become a plegrimsplace to play ? Am I right ?? Is was also a miracle that that litte church wasn't destroyed. I really want to see your pictures. Thanks a lot. Rob

Yes the church played a major role in 9/11 and no damage to it from the collapse of the buildings. Hope the images i shot are good was not working it to hard and the light was bad but it was a week of family more than my work

Today I had a photographer here with the D 200 from Nikon.He had an manual and with that manual we tried to understand all of the buttons.

What am I glad with the DMR and I have played with the M8.

They are understandible without a manual, so tremendous friendly are both leica's.

The D 200 needs days of study and I have the feeling that this camera has too many buttons and functions that we don't need. The DMR has what he need to have, no more.

After this experience I am so happy with it !!! Rob

Just left the 280 to my dealer, who will send it to Solms for a complete revision.

 

Yesterday I made a brief test against the 300/4L IS on the 1Ds, same subject and distance, 1/500 sec f/4 putting the lens on a support, no IS.

Wide open they give more or less the same detail, maybe the 280 has a slight edge, but the 280/DMR combo should be visibly better than the 300/1Ds combo because of the higher magnification.

The 1Ds has only about 5% more linear resolution, not enough to compensate for the 1.37x cropping factor of the DMR.

 

Robert (robsteve) told me that he compared his 105-280 to a Canon 300/4L (non-IS, an even better performer than the IS version) and the Canon seemed out of focus...

 

Can't believe my 280 Apo is actually slightly worse than the 300/4 IS..

believe me, your 280 Apo is superb so it is wise to send the lens to Solms.

Do you also take the ROM ?

With the M 8 in Solms without the manual within 15 minutes I work with these little

giant. The D 200 and the manual--- hours work to read it.

The DMR also very nice to handle.

Happy New Year !! Good health and enjoy your DMR, Digilux, M8 or V Lux or what so ever.

Realise you works with a Leica witch is constructed with love and passion.

They make mistakes so we all make mistakes too but I have seen the passion in Solms to

create a marvellous product. All my good wishes also to the people by Leica in Solms and thanks for all the excellent stuff like the DMR and the M 8

 

Greetings from the Netherlands, Rob

jan. 2005, I had the DMR for two weeks an we walked in Rhijnauwen near Utrecht.

The DMR was set on jpg fine and see how much details you can see in this picture.

Sunny weather, cold, and also shadow. You understand why I am so happy with the DMR.

Now I worked almost always in DNG but jpg. is very good on the DMR.

I have made al lot in Rhijnauwen but these one shows the quality of the DMR.

 

Summilux R 35 mm. 100 iso 1/125 sec. F 5,6

I asked for the price at Solms, if it will turn out it will cost less than 200€ I will do the ROMing.

 

Happy New Year ! :)

 

I am happy to hear this. Very wise to do the ROMing !! And I hope that the 280 APO will be as good as new. Happy new year and all good luck en good health. Rob

Well done Rob.

 

As I said before, It's Leica's class act.

 

Hoping if they release the R10 they might drop the price of the DMR.

 

Cheers.

 

IF they release the R 10 !!! Is it for sure ? Then the price of the DMR will drop, I am certain.

what do you think: cropfcator or a full frame sensor ?

Are there concrete plans by Leica to make an R 10 ?
