Guest stnami Posted June 11, 2007 Share #21 Â Posted June 11, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yea film ain't as bad as I thought I probably scan about a couple of rolls a week say 16-30 images at the most, mostly while I do other computer stuff or even in between the clothes washing/ bread making, I picked up a Bessa R4A, simply read my feet and shoot the scene, got a nice 25mm,35mm for dull days and a canon LSM 28mm so I am looking for a leica or canon 35mm LSM for the bright days. I can take the D2 or Pentax K100D digital with the bessa and hold both cameras in one hand and shoot( no I don't have big hands)....... Â You got lenses MItch but I still would worry about the M8s reliability, another good reason to wait and shoot with what I have......... ah this means a few air fares worth from distant OZ Â Â The GRD is in the pocket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malland Posted June 11, 2007 Share #22  Posted June 11, 2007 But Martin, what Kirk says about the live view renders it useless for my purpose: And, LV is not smooth and realtime like a P&S. First, the mirror flips up, then you compose, then you click the shutter, then the mirror flips down, and then it takes the photo. So there is a lot of sound, so you can not be as discrete.And that's why I started thinking serioulsy again about the M8 because viewing through the M viewfinder will be better than through a DSLR, since I'm not likely to use the live view on the Olympus. —Mitch/Bangkok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, "the GRD is in the pocket." I've been waiting out the M8 until now, but from time to time, I put my toes in the water... —Mitch/Bangkok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted June 11, 2007 Share #24 Â Posted June 11, 2007 Hi Mitch... My Live View comments may have sounded too negative. I just wanted to make sure you knew it was not exactly the same as a P&S. Â Since you would leave the camera in LV most of the time, it would just sound and act like you are taking two quick photos. If you want LV, the e410 and e510 are really very nice. Â The kit lens (28-84mm) and camera make a very small and light package. And, the D SUMMILUX 25mm F1.4 will be available soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You like the look of it and they are very handy and cheap. If I could shoot only with that small cameras I would too. I'm thinking of buying a GR Digital again. It's a wonderful camera with pictures that are the most film like I've seen. And they interpolate extremely well too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
audidudi Posted June 11, 2007 Share #26 Â Posted June 11, 2007 I like the D3 but wouldn't use it for fast work that is being framed with the LCD. To the extent you use an L1/D3 handheld, I agree that the use of "Live View" is not a good choice for fast work. Personally, I compose using the LCD almost exclusively, but I also shoot on a tripod almost exclusively, so the extra clunking and banging of the L1/D3's mirror being flipped out of the way isn't an issue for me. Â At the risk of further fanning the flames, the LC1/D2 has an LCD that's identical to the one on the L1/D3 and as it's not an SLR design, there's no mirror to flip out of the way when you fire the shutter. And if you like grain, then ISO 400 on that camera should do you well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malland Posted June 13, 2007 Share #28  Posted June 13, 2007 Gustavo, you can click on the link below for a flickr slideshow of 112 pictures, of which 48 are taken with the Leica M6 on mainly Tri-X (but also some HP5+ and Neopan 1600); the remainder are all taken with the Ricoh GR-D and some 10 pictures are taken with the Leica D-Lux 3:   —Mitch/Bangkok http://www.flickr.com/photos/10268776@N00/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stnami Posted June 13, 2007 Share #29 Â Posted June 13, 2007 Mitch maybe pointing out some images taken with what camera would help some understand your point................ I guess you are not really convinced about the M8, well I recogmend but as you are I am not 100% on it just reliability and addons , not being able to really use other brand lenses that are contrasty is a bit of a problem. Sure B&W is ok but if we have to work hard in PP for a colour image, well........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
