[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I must confess that I am one of the Leica owners who have just switched to digital for much of my photography. The tipping point for me came when my Danish friend came to visit and I saw firsthand what can be done with a Canon 10D. Of course I had seen the excellent work posted by, say, B.D., but one thing is to look at something on a web site and another to hold the camera in your hands and see the results on your own computer. This does not mean that I will ever leave this list. It is by far the best, friendliest, most interesting mailing list I have ever been on, both photo and non-photo. I have met many wonderful people here, both virtually and in person, and I intend to remain active, even if many of my images will be non-Leica. But I am also not abandoning Leica completely. I have sold my R8 and one of the R lenses but kept the SL2 and four of the R lenses (the 100mm Apo Macro now has an R-to-EOS adapter on it). I am also keeping the M6 and four M lenses, as well as my two CLs, which I have used for most of my Seville images during the past year. And this equipment will NOT be in a display case. In fact, I am in Spain and Portugal this week, and I have the CL outfit with me here, not the DSLR--simply because of the small size.
