Businesses calculate with a cost of arond 100000 for one office workspace per year. Make thecalculation for a digital medium format next, please.

S. Wong Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted June 7, 2007 range, brand? the problem is that MF/LF don't have a lot of zooms, which really helps in covering the range. -Steven Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted June 8, 2007 Share #9 Posted June 8, 2007 Fine exercise... but the Leica price is pushed terribly up by the complete set of the modular Super Tele... just as an academic thought, I'll doubt one NEEDS ALL the four lenghts 280-400-560-800.
