[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am totally with Nathan on this one - Using Leica glass is fine on what ever media it is recorded - the camera houses of Leica - how lovely they may be - are just film and lens holders - and it is none on this lists fault tha Leica have not pulled their managing heads out of their managing butts years ago and produced fine digatal cameras for us and for our Leica glass ! I do like traditionally Leica talk too and on other lists like RangfinderForum they do not seem to have a problem with talking oldstyle - not at all - and there also find time to joke af go off topic in a good way - so Cheer Up Didier - this is a fine list only onder little influence from canons digital sensors :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nathan Wajsman" <nathan.wajsman@planet.nl> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2005 8:34 AM Subject: [Leica] Not pretending > Didier, > > I am not sure what you mean by "pretending to use Leica R lenses". > Certainly in my case you can check the EXIF of the images I post, and it > will show you that the ones I "pretend" to have shot with a Leica R lens > include no aperture info and show the focal length as "00", indicating > that the camera had no lens on it--which is what the 20D thinks is the > case when a Leica R lens is mounted on it. > > I have no interesting in deceiving anyone, and I do not need alibis. > > Nathan > > Didier Ludwig wrote: > > >> I would prefer more on-topics discussion, too.
