andybarton Posted November 10, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted November 10, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) When I suggested to my crack dealer in Manchester that he might consider my trade of a CM towards a new D-Lux 3, he almost bit my hand off. Â So, when it arrives ('cos he's sold out of the D-Luxes), I will have a new briefcase companion. I am looking forward to it. Â I won't miss the CM viewfinder, but I'll miss the Summarit...

Advertisement Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Hi andybarton, Take a look here "Goodbye" CM - "Hello" D-Lux 3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stunsworth Posted November 10, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted November 10, 2007 You may not miss the viewfinder, but will you enjoy using the LCD, that's the question <grin> Â Being a poor Mancunian, I have to make do with it's Panasonic cousin (or should that be twin!)

andybarton Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share #3 Â Posted November 10, 2007 As I have said elsewhere here this afternoon, it is possible for a man to have too many cameras. Apparently. Â And, given the trade in I was offered, it made The Chancellor much more amenable. Â (Lunch at Raymond Blanc's place didn't go down too bad either... ) Â I'll have no problem with the screen, provided the sun don't shine anymore.

philipotto Posted November 10, 2007 Share #6  Posted November 10, 2007 Very nice Andy.   I have a black D-LUX3. I'm still waiting for that pretty brown leather case to come off of back-order.    I haven't used my D-LUX3 much, but its nice to have a pocketable camera.  Welcome, dear visitor!

bobtodrick Posted November 13, 2007 Share #12 Â Posted November 13, 2007 I really WANT to love film! But I recently bit the digi-bullet (unfortunately a Canon G7 till I can afford an M8). Figured I'd use the digi for color and the CM for B&W. Haven't fired the CM in over 3 months now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured I'd use the digi for color and the CM for B&W. Haven't fired the CM in over 3 months now. The thing is to love pictures -- I really don't care how they're made as long as they are good. Let people who like to shoot film shoot film and those who like to shoot digital shoot digital. All this talk, inlcuding my posting here, and handwringing is meaningless: it's only the quality of the pictures produced that matters. In other words, film-schmilm, digital-schmigital. Below is a digital and a film picture, but it could have been vice versa.     —Mitch/Paris Flickr: Photos from Mitch Alland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtodrick Posted November 14, 2007 Share #15 Â Posted November 14, 2007 Mitch...this is the attitude that has over the years overtaken my thinking. There is a forum over at photo.net...'philosophy of photography'...in a recent thread they discussed whether the family photo album has any significance as a photographic medium. I happen to think it does. Now that few people keep journals or diaries...common in years past, I think that in the future historians will look at our family albums to see what life was like in the past. This really got me to thinking...will my grandchildren and their families really care what the photos were taken with?...I doubt it. As you say, the photo is the most important part of the equation.

stunsworth Posted November 14, 2007 Share #16 Â Posted November 14, 2007 Bob, no they won't care. The other thing is that the emotional value of photographs change over the years. What looks boring today, because it's ordinary, will look interesting in the future precisly _because_ it's a slice of everyday life from a few decades before.

andybarton Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share #17 Â Posted November 14, 2007 This will only work if people bother to print out all their work (as you did with 36 prints, or slides) Â Photos left on computer HDs or DVDs will remain forever unlooked at.

Guest malland Posted November 14, 2007 Share #18  Posted November 14, 2007 ...Now that few people keep journals or diaries...common in years past...As you say, the photo is the most important part of the equation.Bob, I don't know whether you know the photo-journal that Peter Beard has been keeping. Taschen has published it in a huge book the last 3 copies of the 2,500 edition that are still available at the Taschen shop in Paris for €3,000. There are some brilliant photographs that have collages and scribbling around the margin. It's quite interesting and some of it very effective, although I haven't yet made up my mind whether there is an excessive celebrity element here. —Mitch/Paris Flickr: Photos from Mitch Alland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtodrick Posted November 14, 2007 Share #19 Â Posted November 14, 2007 I've sorta kept up with Peter Beard for a few years now. Saw the book you're talking about...but waay out of my price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
