Advertisement Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 Hi innerimager, Take a look here Zeiss 25 or Leica 24????? . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Daniel Ortego Posted January 8, 2008 Share #82 Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks for the replies.I have nothing against Sean Reid but I am cheap and the other day when I was at his site and did the subscription rout I almost feel opff my desk chair, $32.95 for a one year subsrciption!!!!!!!!... I subscribe to RR although I believe the cost of admission is high for an on-line review. The site is very clunky and it occasionally hangs and it’s a bitch to scroll. Still, his work is very informative although I’m not sure I’ll be a long time member. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted January 8, 2008 Share #83 Posted January 8, 2008 I subscribe to RR although I believe the cost of admission is high for an on-line review. The site is very clunky and it occasionally hangs and it’s a bitch to scroll. Still, his work is very informative although I’m not sure I’ll be a long time member.Regards, Oh come on you guys - I have paid more than this for a salad in a New York restaurant and I can tell you I get a lot more enjoyment from Sean's site over a year than I did over ten minutes, eating that salad. I agree that using 100% flash for the site is clunky and the non-remembering of your sign on name and password is a real p*****r but it is done for security copyright reasons I believe, to stop people poaching chunks of the text. Perhaps if Sean is reading this thread he would like to comment. I don't think it would succeed, as all you would have to do would be to take a screen shot, run it through OCR and you would have it. I would prefer it was written in HTML or one of its newer variants, as it would load faster but given the quality of the content I am very happy to put with it. I find it much more relevant to my needs that either Michael Reichman's or Erwin Puts' writings. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 8, 2008 Share #84 Posted January 8, 2008 I agree with Wilson that the price of admission to Sean's site is reasonable. After saying that when my subscription ended I didn't renew. Why? Well I found myself skipping past all the test images and just reading the last few paragraphs. Also once I'd bought my current lens set I didn't actually see the need for continuing the subscription. Using flash for the entire site is very clunky IMHO, but not so clunky that I didn't want to use the site, more of an irritation. If I were Sean I'd make one or two of the reviews available to non-subscribers, once people had seen what they were actually buying into it might encourage more to subscribe.

Shootist Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share #85 Posted January 8, 2008 Since I started this thread, soon to be 1 YEAR old, maybe I can also finish it. I bought a 24 Elmarit and I never subscribed to RR. Although the 30+ dollars is a drop in the bucket of the money I have spent in the last year on all things Leica in my opinion it was $30+ well saved. Why do a I say that? Simple I bought, either new or used, every focal length lens Leica offers. 21, 24, 28, 35, 50, 75, 90 and 135. I'll make up my own mind which I like to use and why.

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted January 8, 2008 Share #86 Posted January 8, 2008 Great news, Ed ! But why finishing this thread so early ? Hang on here for a few days and the year will be full. Nice record. Enjoy your LEICA- gear ! Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
