mgcd Posted October 5, 2007 Share #41 Â Posted October 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) He he i could be your father Conrad (could i? 1946) but i don't like sharp things in the OOF personally. Anyway sharper lens than the 80/1.4 but smoother than the 90/2A if i understand well. This pre-asph 90 could well be for me. Â Well, LCT, I guess that technically you could be but that would mean you would have been a very fast worker... Â Good choice on the 90 f/2 Summicron-R, enjoy!

cmb_ Posted October 5, 2007 Share #42 Â Posted October 5, 2007 It seems LCT has decided on the 35, 50, & 90 . . . at least for now! That didn't take much convincing. Nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdai Posted October 5, 2007 Share #43 Â Posted October 5, 2007 A classic M3 setup ... now LCT will need three framelines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha! you've used SLRs too much Simon. 35 needed goggles on the M3. Its 3 framelines were 50, 90 and 135 as you will recall when you stop to mock this poor old LCT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you're still a rangefinder guy at heart ... now this is the impression gathered from the OLD Leica forum, even when I did post much at all. LOL Â Cheers!

telyt Posted October 5, 2007 Share #46  Posted October 5, 2007 I have the following lenses: 19mm 28mm 50mm f2 100mm macro 70-180mm f2.8 280 modular 400 modular 1.4 ext 2.0 ext  If Leica doesn't have a digital R future I will sell everything.  For selfish reasons I might wish for no Leica digital future. How much are you selling the modulars for?  I have:  35mm Elmarit-R (last) 60mm Macro 90mm 'cron 100 APO 80-200 f/4 280 f/4 APO 400mm f/6.8 560mm f/6.8 1.4x APO  If there were no Leica digital future my DMR will still work... but there is no doubt in my mind that Leica will produce a digital successor to the DMR, that existing lenses will be compatible with it, and that the image quality it can produce will be spectacular.

R10dreamer Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share #47 Â Posted October 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I wouldn't hold your breath Doug. :-) I love Leica and its glass and I certainly don't WANT to get rid of the glass. But, at some point my DMR will fail and at some point there won't be any of them around so, if at that point, there is no digital option I will have to sell for common sense reasons. Film isn't going to be here and even if it is processing and scanners will be hard to find. Just the way it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likaleica Posted October 6, 2007 Share #48  Posted October 6, 2007 In the April 2007 LFI interview, page 26, Steve Lee said  "The R crowd are the most die-hard Leica fans of all... The R system needs to be the very best, the cream of the crop, and it has to stay that way. And I can tell you that there's a lot of room for improvement in terms of performance and handling. There's more R experience to be had. The R is a manual focus camera, so we've got to do something about that. The R of today is a big camera with an add-on digital back. We've got to do something about that, too!"  I think we should keep our glass (damn it, Doug, I need my 1.4 back!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telyt Posted October 6, 2007 Share #49  Posted October 6, 2007 I think we should keep our glass (damn it, Doug, I need my 1.4 back!)  Tim, I agree. Except the part about sending the 1.4 back  Gary, given that Mr. Lee is a long-time R user I believe that patience will be well-rewarded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcd Posted October 6, 2007 Share #50  Posted October 6, 2007 Tim, I agree. Except the part about sending the 1.4 back  Gary, given that Mr. Lee is a long-time R user I believe that patience will be well-rewarded.  Our patience (R users) has always been rewarded in the past. It will again be in the future. That said, I don't really need to wait for anything per se since I got my DMR etc.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnguyen Posted October 6, 2007 Share #51  Posted October 6, 2007 I have: 24mm f2.8 ROM 28mm f2.8 35-70mm f4 ROM 50mm f2 90mm f2 180mm f3.4 APO ROM 400mm f6.3 Telyt  and wait for the R10 . R lenses are worth almost next to nothing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10dreamer Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share #52 Â Posted October 6, 2007 R lenses are worth almost next to nothing now. Â And that is a very interesting point as the new ones are priced at astronomical prices. How can they sell (assuming they are) a 70-180 for $7,500 when their is no demand. Makes no sense to me.

Guest Motivfindender Posted October 7, 2007 Share #53  Posted October 7, 2007 Hi there,  own for 2 decades some R-Bodies with  2/35 2/90 (sold for: Apo 100) 3,4/180  and just because I want to do much more photography in the future than I did in the last years AND ALSO because the prices went next nothing at all indeed..  I bought in the last 9 months for using it just to the end of my life also:  19 new version 21-35 Vario 28 PC-SA Apo 2,8/180 Apo 2,8/280 Extender 1,4 Extender 2,0 a Berlebach Pro-Tripod, MAcro-Gear and some expensive Filters for my Leica glasses.  To my pleasure, it seems that I bought near to the all-time-low prices and though I spent nevertheless still lots of money, I am very happy with my decision and a longtime dream of me turned to reality (Wouldn´t never even have thought about buying a Apo 2,8/280 in the former times.. ) .  will buy also a 15mm and than I will wait relaxed for the R-10 using meanwhile a Canon 5D. Should the R-10 be a truely exeptional gear, would the early adopters report that the then last version of firmware has no more bugs and would there are no problems concerning magenta ( or the at-that-time favorite colour of the R&D-responsible ) I will perhaps switch back to the first real DSLR-Leica-Body.  If not: I can live with other fine Bodies...  For "fast" photography an E1 with the AF 14-54 already serves me well.  Dirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 8, 2007 Share #54  Posted October 8, 2007 ...The 28mm f2.8 is also very good - I have a pre-ROM version that I've used a lot - I paid about £200, 300 Euros... Just got a minty 3-cam for 300 euros. Thank you again Steve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
