Re: Future of DA lenses

Hi Bill, I've been on two Leica lists, this list, and the Rollei list. Of the four, this one seems to be the most vocal at expressing dissatisfaction, the Leica lists second by a w-i-d-e margin, and rarely have I heard much kvetching on the Rollei list. There are, however, some distinct differen

What a horribly profound statement. All you have to do is try to manually focus an *ist film body or a Nikon D70 or most any cheap to mid level AF camera body anymore to see how true this is. When I got my *istD, I chose it partly because of a usable viewfinder for focusing. I have since compare

Re: Hood for SMC Pentax-F 70-210

What is the best hood for this lens ? RH-RB49 ? I don't want it to look like a plunger if possible. :) On a film camera, this hood is indeed good. On an ist D a longer hood would be better. The uncommon hood that was made specifically for the old Takumar 200/5.6 is very deep and could be in

Cory, I like #1 better - partly because of where the horizon is and partly because of the spotlight going out both sides on that tower. Also, the coloring was just a little nicer for me. BTW, I really like the shot. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, March 29, 2005, 2:20:18 PM, you wrote: c> H
