I had a nasty head cold starting Saturday evening. Monday, my camera arrived at the local Leica dealer; it took a lot of energy to get out of the house and go pick it up. But my friends at the dealership had put out a huge amount of effort to get me a camera as quickly as they could, on introduction day—I felt I owed it to them to pick it up promptly.
It took a lot more energy to write the check and pay for it, I assure you. :-| When I arrived home, I put the battery on charge and went to bed... I was finally feeling well enough to go for a walk again Tuesday afternoon. This is a link to an album where I'll be posting photos with the camera while I learn how to operate it. An initial set of eight photos are there now: https://flic.kr/s/aHskpybYoz I feel like I've been waiting for this camera for 15 years. Everything about it answers my brief, titled "What I'd Like In A Digital Camera", point by point … and then some. I wrote the brief in 2000 when I was pondering what was coming, shooting with my Nikon F3/T, and wondering what I would like to replace the Nikon with in a digital camera. This is that camera. enjoy! G The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
