jaapv Posted May 8, 2018 Share #101 Posted May 8, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) That's no reason to have a quick look through the viewfinder. He is only blogging. He is a photographer first. Not just that, but on his site there are about 15 reviews of digital Leicas, including the M10. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Farewell to the 135 APO-Telyt-M. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jeff S Posted May 8, 2018 Share #102 Posted May 8, 2018 In your link I do not find the email which sets the record straight. Not just that, but as of this morning he has removed both posts related to the 135. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 8, 2018 Share #103 Posted May 8, 2018 Which begs the question: misinformed or jumping the gun? Or writing ahead and mistakenly activating the piece on the site. Maybe the M11 will have no 135 framelines Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted May 8, 2018 Share #104 Posted May 8, 2018 Yes - he owns/owned digital Ms. I’m aware, but I don’t think that includes the M10. Lately, despite his sometimes use of digital, he’s been trashing digital (and a lot about Leica) and heaping praise on film. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately, despite his sometimes use of digital, he’s been trashing digital (and a lot about Leica) and heaping praise on film. Jeff http://photo.imx.nl//camera/styled-56/ Here is his basic take on film-digital, taken from his May 2018 blog: I use both technologies and select the one that is best for my purpose. It is as with classical cars: for normal traffic and holidays you are well advised to select a modern car with an efficient engine and lost of electronic assistants that make life on the road when driving much easier and safer (presumably!). When you wish to experience the road and the enthusiasm of driving nothing is better than a classic British two-seat tourer. I tend to agree. At the moment my daily commute is by my 1963 TR4 :) Welcome, dear visitor!

At the moment my daily commute is by my 1963 TR4 :) tr4.jpg I’ve read all his posts and you’ve selected a benign section... and a report from a year ago. He has since vigorously vented against digital, with extremely negative sentiment even toward Leica. Very different tone. He owns some Ms, film and digital, but I don’t think that includes the M10 or recent digital iteration, which was my point. He may just not recall the current frame line configuration.

Jeff I've selected his most recent blog post. I only skimmed it I must admit, it was a bit verbose for my taste. However it was not polarizing against digital at all.

Ronazle Posted May 8, 2018 Share #115 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I have no idea the reasons for Puts' error(s) but am not wowed by the cryptic and not so cryptic criticisms of him. Over the years he has provided all of us a great wealth of Leica information, most of which we were unable to discern for ourselves. Thanks ever so much Erwin.

wattsy Posted May 8, 2018 Share #116 Posted May 8, 2018 I think he’s on meds, Because he's grown weary of digital? Pretty low, even by the standards of this forum of late. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted May 8, 2018 Share #117 Posted May 8, 2018 Over the years he has provided all of us a great wealth of Leica information ..... Which is why this is a bit of a puzzle. His comments may not suit everyone but his factual stuff is usually pretty good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemeyer Posted May 8, 2018 Share #118 Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Since he removed both posts, probably just trying to get out of the flak pattern. Don’t blame him. Edited May 8, 2018 by mdemeyer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years he has provided all of us a great wealth of Leica information, most of which we were unable to discern for ourselves. Thanks ever so much Erwin. Regards, Ron "Over the years" seems to be long ago I have been constantly recommending his publications here - until I bought the "Leica Compendium". There were so many details in this book completely contradicting his own earlier publications or many other sources or just being obviously wrong that I lost confidence. Since then he went on with his style of factual statements which were "unbased" - to say the least. (The M10-sensor being the same as the SL-sensor, the new 1:2.4-series of Summarit lenses having a new optical design etc.) There are enough sites around who don't pretend being "philosophical" - but which are just spreading rumors. I don't need another one - even if it decorates itself with a name from the past of Leica's history.- Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted May 8, 2018 Share #120 Posted May 8, 2018 Erwin Puts has contributed a lot and has often given his work freely. I have valued, benefited and found a lot of interest in his writing, as have many others. To try and start a witch hunt over this is pathetic. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
