innerimager Posted February 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) on my way deeper into the digital forest. I heard about the Panasonic G1, a micro 4/3 that with adapters can take Leica (and other) lenses. Seemed like a neat idea, cheap enough as well, I picked one up on got on a wait list for an adapter. It came last week, and I just couldn't get past using an electronic view finder. I find it separates me from the subject and the context in an artificial way I just don't enjoy. So I sold it, and used the money toward- a second M7 (used) with a 0.85 finder. (As I was discussing with Peter from Boston). So I now have two M7s (0.72 chrome, 0.85 black) and an M5. So, let's see, I came to leica as a digital photographer having never shot film, and now have more film Leicas than digital, and find myself going for them more than the M8s. What happened to me on the way into the forest?? :>) best...Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
