I bought an M8 and a discounted WATE as well as IR filters for all my lenses. I already ha most ot the otherlenses with my M7s and M6s. I am considering getting another M8 so as to have what I think is the ideal minimal outfi of one body with 28 'cron and one with 50 'lux. I may eventally dispose of my film cameras if I ever master my PC.

As to Leica, I replaced a couple of 35mmf2ASPH rubber lens caps for the MP that I lost at various points around this country

 

:D

 

This year for me has been one of focus on my digital gear (Canon): a Tamron 28-75f2.8 ASPH and a long-awaited 70-200f2.8 L lenses for my 300D body

 

I still need to buy a 28mmf2ASPH from Leica, and I'd like to upgrade to a 5D body someday

 

Thanks

Oh, my M8 and its companions - 35/2 Summicron (IV), 90/2.8 Elmarit M.

Does my Zeiss 21/2.8 Biogon count?

 

Of course 2007 was not as expensive as 2006 when I had to replace my PhaseOne scanback with a BetterLight/NorthLight copy setup. That cost $25,000 just because Apple no longer supported SCSI in their OS.

 

That expenditure sure made it easy to get a mere $8,500 past my wife who is also my business's accountant.

50 mm summicron and a CV 75 mm. Rather modest when compared to many of the above lists. I am thrilled with the results with the Summicron. I've only had the 75 for a few weeks and really haven't used it as much as I thought I would. I do plan on using it Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for candids of my family. Should be a good test!

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Choices of R lenses 24/2.8, 90/2, 135/2.8 or 180/f??

Return of my D2 from Solms - I'm pining :(

Maybe a new printer for A3 - the Epson 1400 is tempting

 

I'm awaiting Photokina before deciding on my future digital camera(s).
