I owned Leica gear for many years prior to the digital era, only reason I sold it was that at the time (2001-2002) there was no confidence that Leica itself would survive at all *and* no good confidence that it would even be possible to make these lovely lenses work correctly with a digital sensor. AND there was the opportunity to sell off my Leica gear and buy into a Hassy Superwide and 500C/M setup, something I'd always wanted to try. I've simply returned to where I was a decade ago with the acquisition of the M4-2 and M9. Where I was a decade ago, albeit then with all Leica lenses at 1/4 the price it would cost me now.

Re: No discussion of the Olympus OM-D ?
Body styling is obviously an important part of how a camera works since you have to hold it to use it. I'm not a fan of retro per se as much as I'm not a fan of modern styling for the sake of being different. Body styling also affects compactness as a dove bar will slide in your pocket whereas something with a big grip is easy to hold. I also like manual controls.

Re: No discussion of the Olympus OM-D ?
Agreed. I like my old cameras because the controls worked so well. The presence of automatic modes makes these controls an afterthought, and this becomes clear when you use the camera. Most shots work fine on auto but that actually makes it worse. You don't' use the manual controls as often, and when needed it's hard to react quickly. On Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 1:29 PM, P. J. Alling webstertwenty...@gmail.com wrote: For me the styling is unimportant. Retro that works is controls and ergonomics. Since it's a m43 camera I doubt it will allow the use of legacy lenses better than any other m43 system camera so I'm not particularly excited. I don't own any OM-Zuiko glass anyway, but many were outstanding lenses. I have friends who have OM systems, and they are a bit disappointed that Olympus didn't make as much effort as Pentax did to keep their old lenses compatible. Most have moved on to low to mid level Canons... Using my existing lens kit is much more important than what the camera looks like. Right now I have a system that can use every single bit of legacy gl\ass I own. If you want retro for retro sake, look at the Epson RD-1, now that's retro, even more so than the Leica M-9.

I have no idea how an interactive book produced with this app would run on, say, a Kindle or Nook device. It runs great on the iPad, and I suspect that was the main intent, and if your book is only going to run great on an iPad, well then any mass distribution goals might have to be reconsidered.

Re: New Pentax EVIL rumor, with specs
I'm not sure ejaculates is the precise phallic metaphor for which you were searching. ;-) My friend has one of those compact travel zooms with an 18x zoom range. It's a flat Dovebar camera, and when the zoom extends, it really hard not to laugh. On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 2:20 AM, Christine Aguila christ...@caguila.com wrote: Funny thing about ugly cameras. Had to go downtown today. I totally spaced and got off at Chicago Ave, 1 stop sooner than I should have--should have gotten off at Merchandise Mart. So, it was a bit of a hike, along Franklin Ave, especially in the snow we've had all day, and I had to walk straight into the wind. While trekking through the snow, I got to thinking about lenses. I shot with the DA 16-45mm on the k-5 the other day, and I got the feeling it wasn't focusing right on the k-5. Then I got to thinking that I really need a weather resistant wide angle zoom, which the DA 16-45mm isn't. But I'm a bit out of luck there because I can't stand the way the 16-50mm DA* ejaculates ; it's so vulgar, though I do recognize it takes nice pictures. It's so different than the DA* 50-135mm, which maintains its lovely shape as you zoom in and out. Then I thought about all my lovely Pentax primes, DA 21mm, and the DA 40mm, so elegant, so lady-like.

It makes some sense if the new EVIL body is a smaller, lighter body with K5 innards and this is accompanied by the release of a new DSLR. The new line has a lower end model which is mirrorless and the higher spec model which is a DSLR.

No one seems to know if it has a built in EVF, aside from the LCD.

Re: OT: Canon DSLR vs Rolleicord
These guys always insist on capture images. Both media always involve some PP, minimally the JPEG engine or photolab's chemical development. For absolute quality comparison you should allow both files to be optimized in LR. The problem with all of these comparisons is that they are typically being done by someone defending the honor of film and inevitably bias the test in small ways toward film's advantages. For example, I have little doubt that film has a DR advantage over digital, although he made a point of using print and not slide film. At least he didn't use Tri-X. ;-) The real advantage of digital for me is that i can take so many pictures of the same scene, chanage settings, and just On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 2:27 AM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: On 1/16/2012 11:05 AM, Darren Addy wrote: Purchased my first Rolleicord this morning, a model V (mainly because I thought it was too cheap).

Re: Fuji X Pro 1 (X100 + interchangeable lenses)
If you look at the K5/X Pro 1 size comparison from the non-grip side, the body has a similar thickness. The grip and prism bump make up the size difference and probably part of the weight. It's pretty clear that Fuji is going after the M9 in that they want those who can't afford to the M9 to think of this as a good alternative. I think you've zoned in on the biggest problem, however, Frank, which is the slower AF. I've had some luck with the X-10 on moving targets (people) but my personal skill for street work is not sufficient to make a real evaluation.

Apparently it's better than the x100 but nowhere near dslr capability. Fuji acknowledges that but says fast focusing is not what that camera is about.

Re: Some pics with Pentax Q
This will frustrate some, but the price tag is a real hurdle for the Q. A less well built one, i.e., polycarbonate, might bring it into a range where it can compete with the the other high end compacts like the Canon G12. Of course, they could simply stick that zoom on it permanently and sell that version. I'd hate to see it just go away. OTOH, the Optio I -10 was something like this, and that didn't sell for $300.

Re: Fuji X Pro 1 (X100 + interchangeable lenses)
It's very useful to have and eye level finder for long lenses and MF. In the context of this thread, however, that VF doesn't need to be optical. The X Pro can switch back and forth between the two, but I wonder how necessary that really is if the EVF is fairly high res.

Re: Ashley Pomeroy opinion piece to end the year on dpreview.com
It's a fun read. Snarky, but universally so, even regarding her own writing style. Some great lines and some sad truths. The last few lines are the best, however. Let's drop the word digital form all photography references because it has long been the default case. As for her thoughts on photography, they are painfully descriptive of my own experience. I went to micro43 for a while because I so liked the E-P1. Unfortunately, Olympus doesn't make it's own sensors and you need the best stuff to compete with APS-C. I'm also tired of RAW, or, more precisely, working with RAW. I love to adjust a single picture but I hate the mass work flow. I'm always told that Lightroom is great once you get used to it, but to me that's a also a good description for a prosthetic limb. I've given it up, and will now use the latest version of Photoshop Elements until Adobe goes out of business. In truth, I've fallen into what I call the Disneyland paradox. Most of my best photo opportunities occur at the worst places/times to tote around an SLR and a bunch of lenses. I would have loved the Q with a built-in fast zoom but I'm hoping the X-10 fulfills that niche. Since most of my photography now lives on the web and I never make prints, it should be fine. I'll keep the K7 and the FA135 for those times when I can devote the trip to photography, like a trip to the racetrack or a national park. Rant over.
