Re: REV: HELP - Firmware 1.11 for *ist D

[Paul Stenquist]

I use K and M lenses quite often. You will get used to pushing the 
green button. It becomes an automatic process. No hassle whatsoever. 
For all important shots I use my K primes: the 24 and 28 3.5s, the 
50/1.4, the 85/1.8, and the 135/2.5. I also use my A 400/5.6 and M 
200/4 quite frequently. I have two zooms, an FA 28-105 and a Sigma 
17-35. I use them quite often but more for walkarounds and casual 
photography.

Paul - so, do you use K and M lenses? Will I get used to pushing the

button or is it a constant PITA?

I sold most of my screwmount cameras and lenses to buy my first *ist D.
Now I'm selling two MX, one Leica LTM (a iiic) , a couple of lenses,
and an LX motor drive to buy my second *ist D. I'm keeping my 6x7 kit,
one Leica iiif,  a Russian FED (it's not worth much). one Spotmatic F,
one H3v,  and one LX. That should be more than enough film cameras. I
think I have to have a backup body for some jobs. After 8 months or so,
I'm still very pleased with the *istD.

You are right, Rob. But everybody seem to say to me:
But, shurely you wount be selling your MZ-S!!!!!
Everybody who has seen my MZ-S (myself included) - loves it. It really
IS a
beauty, isn't it?
But I believe either the MZ-S or my 6x6 equipment has to go (I have
promissed my self not to increase my total photographic investments -
to buy
photographic equioment, I must sell some).
I've been thinking the same as you, but the thruth is, I hardly ever
use my
MF-gear anyway.
Maybe I should sell my Exakta's first.

"Grainy

If shooting colour images is your preference my guess is that your 
35mm
bodies
won't see much film from now on. I've kept a couple of LX as back-up
(until
another decent DSLR is produced) and for the occasional B&W film but
if I'm
being totally honest mostly for posterity and sentimental reasons (I
still
have
my Dads old Retinette too). I think your 6x6 will complement the *ist
D, I
wouldn't go selling it in a rush, I'm still shooting film in my 67
(though I
might get myself a 4x5 some time so I can be a real photographer)

I'm interested to hear how your shooting habits change in the next few
months,
this is a very different beast to your old Digi-PnS :-)
