Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Christopher Birchenhall Enviado el: viernes, 13 de junio de 2008 23:11 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: [Leica] A New/Old Toy? LUGers Picked up a new/old gorgeous IIIf R/D with a collapsible 50mm f2 Summicron. Over fifty years old but looking like new and in full working order. I just had to go and use it - this seemed to cause the dealer some dismay. Anyway I had a good few hours out with the new "toy". I have put up 4 images from my "testing" the kit. Be warned they are not to every one's taste - shapes with light and shade some verging on the abstract. No need to look but I welcome C&C if you do. I just wanted to report my pleasure using a classic piece of Leica kit. The first is at http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/crb/_bridge_reflectiopn.jpg.html or http://tinyurl.com/6hy6uo Chris B P.S. In the prints the grain is present but not obtrusive and a pleasant counterpart to the "clean" pics from my (Nikon) digital images. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
