Correct, Nikonos.

If I were young with good eyesight, serious and deliberate , and planned to be in it for the long run, I would consider a Leica M and try some Voigtlander lenses. It will spark your creativity.

Intelligence seeks its own level. Rise, "poor Ansel", rise!

Printing is just like anything else where there are levels of quality. On an "A, B, C, D, E, F" scale, I would give Costco a "C". There's so much focus on equipment and film selection, then why...

@trebor1, thanks for these links. I'm always up for something with substance, but I will still maintain that the vast majority of Polaroid cameras were used by amateurs taking mediocre pictures of...

I bought Polaroid cameras when they were selling new. There's a reason that these products fell out of fashion and that reason is they didn't produce very good images. Most people using Polaroid...

Sending some well wishes to Nikon here. Thanks for providing me with endless hours of enjoyment and now thousands of negatives and prints. As I recall, I had an FM2, an F3HP, a Nikonis V and an...

I agree, my Leica glass is steadily holding its value, and some lenses are increasing. In fact, I need to adjust for insurance purposes.

A well used liver, you say? I wouldn't trust anyone who didn't have a well used liver.

I'm a long-term shooter and have several Leica's including an SL and 3 SL lenses. I much prefer this system to any Minolta, Nikon, Canon that I have owned. My SL handily outperforms the 5DSR and...

Leica prevails in build quality, simplicity of use, and imaging. I'm interested in video, but I don't see myself buying a camera covered in buttons with a stagnated menu system, which is why I've...

I had a Tamron 500mm mirror lens 40 years ago. Yea, Ok, so it gave me some reach, but I never liked the results and quickly sold it. I recently posted an image of the Chrysler Building on my insta...

I've attended a number of trade shows. It was a highlight for me to see new things, meet and talk to reps, fill my backpack with brochures- some of which I still have from decades ago, and get...

You make a valid point in your comparison. In 2016, I was in Samy's looking to buy a medium format system. I chose the Leica S over the Hasselblad due to the Hasselblad having software issues. ...

Thanks to Chris, Jordan, and DP Review for another informative review. Given the 4 choices presented, I believe the Panasonic has the best rendering. Looking back over my 50 year love affair with...

The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau used to be a special that aired on network TV. It was mesmerizing to see divers with cool air tanks and space like suits swimming under the ocean gliding over...

Roger, you have a significant amount experience with a lot of different equipment. How does Leica glass compare?
Thanks,
Bill

I have a 55mm Zeiss Otus and Zeiss binoculars. I'm also a long-term Leica owner. The optics are as good as it can get. Don't write off Zeiss just because this camera doesn't suit your taste. Zeiss...

*continuation from previous post-
If you are making beautiful images with another brand, then I salute you. However, I suggest that you should get acquainted with as many brands as possible and not...

I have 4 Leica bodies and eight Leica S and SL lenses and one 55mm Zeiss Otus. I use the Zeiss on my SL via a Novoflex adaptor. The results between the Leica and Zeiss glass are almost...
