What a great debate to start on the LUG...
I really enjoyed the pictures Ming. I thought Tina's comments about the
FF DSLRs gathering dust was interesting. I've just got a second M8 body
- it was going to be a toss-up between a 5D Mk II body or M8 and the M8
won in the end. I will keep my canon lenses and continue to use my 20Ds
for the forseeable future. The outfit is 'good enough' for long lens
and macro work.
Whilst I don't do an awful lot of street or people photography, I find
the M8 just suits my way of working, though I do enjoy working in LF
from time to time.
Tina's comments on L series lenses and CA I think may have sealed the
deal for me. I think my next purchase will be an 18mm Super-Elmar - in
fact I decided to get the filter for this lens as a freebie when I
registered the M8. Just need to sell my darkroom and save some more
pennies to get the lens...
Hope you enjoy the LUG.
All the best
