Michael Geschlecht Posted June 1, 2012 Share #21 Posted June 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Everybody, The addition of a new section focused on lenses is not a bad idea in itself. Added to that might be a system of internal restructuring of already submitted material in all current categories done by moderators where, while reading for the purposes of moderation, they might link, w/ a simple mouse click, relevant Threads &/or Posts to already opened Threads. Something along the lines of what is currently done in the wiki @ the top of this page. If a simple method of integrating materials can be developed so as not to overburden the moderators. Best Regards, Michael Is this possible? Who, keep in mind, does not have a clue as to how to Post a picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along the lines of what is currently done in the wiki @ the top of this page.. There are well over 100,000 threads on the forum. You can ask one of the other Moderators whether they'd be willing to go through all of them to cross-reference them to all the other relevant threads, but, sorry, IMHO, that is well above and beyond the call of duty.

dkCambridgeshire Posted June 1, 2012 Share #24 Posted June 1, 2012 I totally agree with this. It only makes sense. A sub-forum for each focal length in Leica's lineup (most widely used) would be a very welcomed addition. So here goes to the moderators: please add these features. Thank you! Sub-forums for each focal length would create far too many fora. Better to consider Wide, Standard and Telephoto/Long ... and not differentiate between LTM, R and M - thus catering for Panasonic. Standard lenses to include 40mm to 60mm and all standard zooms. But there might be a case for a separate 'Macro lenses' category too - thus promoting some separate discussion of Photar lenses and R macro lenses and photomicrographic techniques ... or perhaps a separate 'Lenses in general' discussion forum in addition to the above three. dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted June 3, 2012 Share #25 Posted June 3, 2012 Hello Andy, Sorry about the lack of clarity in my Post. What I was suggesting was: W/ new Threads, as they came along, there might be a simple & not time consuming cross referencing system deviseable to have relevant material accessable in some manner elsewhere when appropriate. In a way which would not add to your workload. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpalme Posted June 3, 2012 Share #28 Posted June 3, 2012 Good idea. If you don't mind me slipping this into this thread. I want to post a non photo post. Is there a non camera related forum? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted June 3, 2012 Share #29 Posted June 3, 2012 Is there a non camera related forum? Yes http://hamsterforum.com/forums/ oh , and a lens sub-forum here in the Leica forum would be an excellent idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRabern Posted June 21, 2012 Share #30 Posted June 21, 2012 Maybe not lens, but focal length may be helpful. Super-wide, wide, normal, tele, macro, whathaveyou. It would lessen search time after the search query. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would lessen search time after the search query. Thank you. Sub-forums for each focal length would create far too many fora. Whatever happened to keeping things simple? Search is not hard to use - easier, certainly than hopping from forum to forum. Where for instance would you put the 60mm Elmarit-R? Standard? Macro? Tele? Different people will put it in different places. One forum. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRabern Posted June 22, 2012 Share #32 Posted June 22, 2012 Bill, I may have the same convictions and resistance to a new order if I had such tenur. My expression is based on a very new set of learned experiences here within the forum and its organization and then the comparison of how Leica itself categorizes the product line. I don't mean to muddy water within this thread and the discussion, but simply searching defies the purpose of categorization. I would think it would be quite logical to limit search within a sector of that organization, et alibi. My best example is the search for something about the 90mm Macro-Elmar-M. Please share, please tell me how you would go about your search? Would it include one, some, or all of the following: Macro-Elmar-m 90mm macro 90mm macro Elmar m 90mm mem 90mm f4 90mm f/4 Mem 90mm portrait 90mm macro Et cetera. I hope I don't come of as sharp, I have made effort to not be. As I went through the above and laborious act of clicking through the search results I found much in the way of wanting something--more organized. I yearn to learn from other experiences as much as my own, this is why I am here and I would rather not be admonished to ask a weary question I could have found the answer for myself. V/r Michael Rabern Ps. I do think different people would in fact make error or crest confusion in a well meaning attempt to help us keep organized, in such events I would trust the moderator class to handle as well as they do now within the parameters of the forum software.

wosim Posted June 22, 2012 Share #33 Posted June 22, 2012 I made a collection of links to Leica M mount lens reviews (Leica, Zeiss, Voigtlaender, Konica etc.) for making comparisons of lenses easier. My categories are 12mm - 25mm, 28mm - 35mm, 40mm - 60mm, 75mm - 90mm, 100mm - 135mm. I also added links to forum discussions (e.g. Leica User Forum, GetDPI, Rangefinder Forum) as additional information. Maybe that is, what your are looking for: one time saving ressource.

I can clearly see much resistance to the idea. I don't have a dog in fit other than being new and confused. Where is it recommend I post my lens questions?
