The One Challenge 2006 - Paris


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Just allow me to pose several stupid questions:

 

If one uses Nikon camera, nikon lens, but Leica flash, is he qualified to joint the challenge?

Even more wicked: if one use Panasonic Lumix camera, but a Leica battery....

 

I think the answers are NO.

Hsin,

 

If you feel comfortable declaring the limited extent of your Leica gear used, speaking for myself, there is no real problem. I feel that your company on the day should be more important than your 'compliance'. Others may have different feelings and I certainly don't make or oversee the rules. OTOH, I suspect that there will be enough Leica gear 'spare' round the table if anyone needs to 'borrow' some qualifying equipment, just for the exercise.

 

Cheers,

Erl

No, using a Leica flash on another camera does not qualify as a 'Leica' image. Nor does using a Leica filter or wearing of a Leica baseball cap etc.

 

You can use any Panasonic camera as long as it has a Leica lens.

 

In a nutshell, camera and/or lens must be Leica. Hope that helps.

What time are people thinking of getting to the restuarant?

 

I'd be interested in joining the post challenge dinner but I'm getting the train back to London in the evening so I'm not sure if I'll have enough time.

 

If not I'll take in some more sightseeing/bars/shopping.

 

Cheers

Right! In typical fashion, I've left it pretty late, but I'm now booked. I'm flying BA, and staying in a little fleapit near the Sacre Coeur. I'll arrive on Saturday morning and leave Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to it!

 

Regards,

 

Bill
