(where I'm at is this) cropped format for as far back as I can remember. 7/2/2003 So that's 6 years. I got wider lenses than I had before so it seemed like no big deal. The results seemed wonderful. And I've enjoyed the extra depth of field and ease of shooting in that regard. And ultra telephoto from just regular telephoto turned out to be better than I thought. I was involved at the ground floor it felt like with a grand new experiment. With the purchase of my Leica D100. 7/2/2003 Canon comes out a few years later with the full frame for ten grand and it didn't seem all that necessary or important or viable or affordable. But right off a photographer friend of mine from Portlander got one. Never looked back. And my other key photographer friend in Portland as well. But every year is a big year in this digital world. 5 years is a century. By next December the only people shooting cropped digital will be for those once a year December holiday shots of kids opening presents. The rest will be ISO 64,000 and be there and blowing them up 17x22 and hanging it on the walls. But sure I'd probably love using a M8 for quite a while. Proably get better results with some stuff than I'm getting now. I have to say that with nikon shooting I already know what its like to use full frame glass on cropped format bodies. And it don't feel all that good. I vastly prefer shooting with what they call DX glass and Sigma calls DC. Everything much more compact and sharp and MADE for the format crop circle its working at Mark William Rabiner > From: Doug Herr <wildlightphoto at earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 22 May 2009 17:51:02 -0700 (GMT-07:00) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] (no subject) > > Mark I believe that once you start using an M8 with your glorious 90 APO > ASPH > you'll see why the crop isn't that big a deal. > > Can somebody meet with Mark and let him use your M8 for a couple of hours?
