Take a look at A Boy and His Dog, which I justed posted under B.D. on the MSN site. It was shot wide open at f 2.8. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Johnny Deadman Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 3:05 PM To: LUG Subject: Re: [Leica] Re:Consensus?

I don't know about its optical qualities but I can't get on with the lack of rf coupling. The click stops are okay but... you know. People argue that DOF is so big you shouldn't worry, but close up that's not entirely true. Not a winner for me. - -- Johnny Deadman photos: http://www.pinkheadedbug.com music: http://www.jukebox.demon.co.uk
