Good Morning Len ... I should be sleeping in but my stoopid cats didn't know it was Sunday and they wanted breakfast <LOL>
Your point is well made and well taken - faster glass for the Leica is somewhere down the road. However, for quite some time I've been desirous of a larger format, and have been looking at various options. The more I look the better the Mamiya seems for a good portion of my shooting. It is the only camera in Med Format that I've looked at that can be used like a 35mm with my style of shooting. The Bronica rangefinder is a 645 and uses a vertically aligned frame, but my preference is for a square or horizontally aligned frame. There are some nice Fuji models, but the current models don't have interchangeable lenses. The Pentax 67 seems too big and too loud for what I'd like to do. The TLRs, while small and quiet, require looking down into the finder, which precludes faster shooting. If someone can show me another Med Format camera that handles close to a 35mm, and which is very quiet, I'd be happy to look at it. But over the past year or so I think I've exhausted all the possibilities. Len Paris wrote: > Get a faster lens for the Leica. You'll save money in the long > run.
