stunsworth Posted June 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) In light of Leica's possible announcement of new digital products at Photokina - and beyond - what about a new sub-forum for the digital forum entitled "Digital SLR forum" (or similar) and at the same time renaming the "Leica M8 forum" as "Digital Rangefinder forum"? I'm not concerned about the actual names - "Leica Digital Rangefinder forum" would be just as good - but I expect there to be a lot of activity following Photokina (even more than there is now) and it seems sensible to give the sub-forums names that aren't model specific. Just a thought, feel free to ignore <grin>. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewave Posted June 11, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 11, 2008 ....it could be empty......... Sounds like a description of the thoughts of the author, given the quantity & quality of the images produced by users of the DMR/R8/R9 system as well as the multitude of users of R glass on Canon & Olympus digital bodies. Being cavalier is one thing, but this drivel is uncalled for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stnami Posted June 11, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 11, 2008 ....exactly that, it's all speculation and drivel about this camera and possibly that camera .. all these ifs and buts.......R10, now some sort of R-1D etc........... but whatever keeps you amused you little rougie:D :D .........ask the worrier....... ahh the things that happen as the weather warms up sigh..

stunsworth Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted June 11, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) True, but I'm thinking that it will be useful _after_ the camera has been announced/released. Let's be honest, much of the posts here are speculation and opinion rather than fact - and none the worse for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolo Posted June 11, 2008 Share #10 Posted June 11, 2008 Does that just leave the Panasonic twins in the Digital Forum then, or can they be recognised with their own sub-folder ? For some reason, I feel guilty posting pics taken with R lenses on Canon bodies. Is that anal of me, or do we need another ..... imants ? Rolo ps which is speculation ?

mooky Posted June 14, 2008 Share #12 Posted June 14, 2008 How about calling it (if there is one) simply 'Digital R Forum'. Nice and simple, and if the camera happens - I hope it is too !!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted June 15, 2008 Share #13 Posted June 15, 2008 and if the camera happens - I hope it is too !!!! We already have a critical mass with the DMR & R glass for both digital & film. Let's get this baby off the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Flatline Posted June 15, 2008 Share #14 Posted June 15, 2008 Redefining it as dRF and dSLR forums might open it up to other equipment a little as well - the R-D1 or R lenses on Canon bodies are good examples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyoung Posted June 16, 2008 Share #15 Posted June 16, 2008 I like the idea But.... we don't have separate film areas for M and R, so why for digital? Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted June 16, 2008 Share #16 Posted June 16, 2008 The M8 section was set up when speculation and then interest reached such a state that then "Digital" forum was getting swamped with M8 threads. Others, including DMR owners, and compact shooters, couldn't get a word in. The same could happen with the R10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted July 16, 2008 Share #17 Posted July 16, 2008 Actually, Andy, I like the idea, kinda like separation of church and state. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdai Posted July 16, 2008 Share #18 Posted July 16, 2008 It would be nice if we could have only two forums here, I have some humble suggestions: 1. A blue blood Leica forum 2. A Leica Knockoffs forum or 1. A photographers' forum; 2. A non-photographers' forum. or 1. A RTFM forum 2. A wishlist forum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted July 16, 2008 Share #19 Posted July 16, 2008 I am with Steve on this issue. He and Andy Barton two of the most level headed Leica users to post on this forum and there posts are usually thoughtful and insightful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted July 16, 2008 Share #20 Posted July 16, 2008 I am with Steve on this issue. He and Andy Barton two of the most level headed Leica users to post on this forum and there posts are usually thoughtful and insightful. Well said, Richard. Andy's right - the M8 forum was born in a hurry when the M8 posts flooded out the digital forum and the wood couldn't be seen for the trees. It makes sense to me to be ahead of the game, if possible and create an R-digital forum in advance of any announcement. It would still be applicable to the DMR, and to the use of R lenses on Canon and 4/3 bodies. It strikes me that it will help us to separate the M'ates from the R'souls...
