Studio58 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK.... nearly at the end of an eventful week.

Guest WPalank Posted July 14, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2011 Your point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio58 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted July 14, 2011 it is necessary to have a point. I was not aware of that. It is however a reference point for someone new to Leica (like me) who may be looking for gear and unsure of prices. A person in that position may find that type of info useful. Nice blog BTW.

hx911 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2011 I love to see/hear what you think of the summicron 35 on the M9! On my M8 the Summicron 28 ASPH was such a great lens, and I am looking to find a lens that gives me the same / similar experience on my M9, the 28 is too wide for daily use for me on the full frame. Looks like you have what I want (no point to my post either) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not necessary to have a point. I like stories like this much more than people being rude, unkind or snotty. Please, keep sharing. The more posts like this help to dilute the unpleasant ones. The sad thing is that some take the time to vent their bile here. Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posto 6 Posted July 14, 2011 Share #17 Posted July 14, 2011 ???? Remember, not only does Australia have a robust Dollar, but they also manged to successfully offload Rupert Murdoch on the UK as well, and this without too much protest (until now).

Looks like you have what I want (no point to my post either) If I could only keep one lens for my m9, my 35 cron would be it. Both for the field of view and the image quality, not to mention mechanical quality of the lens and it's physical size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
