[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear fellow Luggers I was pleasantly surprised to note that the Canon 20D continues to be featured and I presume this model is still current and in force Please advise me if the Nikon 80 - 200 Zoom Lens ( favoured by John Shaw ) Will be just as effective as the similar Leica R piece ? Does any Lugger have any experience with my suggested combination ? And the result ? Thanks for your much appreciated advice Joseph Low / Singapore -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+joelct=singnet.com.sg@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+joelct=singnet.com.sg@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Frank Dernie Sent: Wednesday, 26 March, 2008 6:12 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Lens kit for europe I bought a E3 system for small tele lenses. I have been totally underwhelmed by the results of the AF with long lenses and unfortunately manual focus on a tiny screen is hit and miss - usually miss. With normal and wide lenses is fine, but so is everything else. The E510 with kit lens is pretty impressive for the money. It is no M8!
