[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hey Stasys: How about the R recyclable camera, no worries about theft. :) If you insist on taking an R, then the R4 as it is semi disposable anyway: you can buy another one for what it costs to repair. :) Seriously, if your primary purpose is to enjoy the beach and relax, then the R4 as it is small and light. If your primary purpose is photography, then the R9 as it is a better picture taking machine. Do several things when you get off the beach: wipe the camera and lens down with a very slightly damp towel to remove salt residue, brush or blow off all surfaces of the camera and lens including the interior, and reinspect the whole camera, lens, and bag for sand. The grit on the beach is insidious and will destroy photo equipment if you do not properly clean off the grit. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Stasys Petravicius Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 8:51 AM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Best R camera to take to the Beach? Hi all- What is the R camera and lens I should take to the beach across the street from my house? Your answer can be: R4, R5, or R9. Thanks for your indulgence. ps- On my Cyanotype project question, I received one answer from Leo Wesson- which directed me to an alternative print making website. I appreciated it.
