[Leica] 60mm Macro on Fuji X Pro 1

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (tedgrant at shaw.ca)]

All this information about how bad an M8 is I find very interesting, Seems 
like it's all bad news owning and using one.

However for a fleeting moment let's hand an M8 to a  talented photographer, 
"Here Charlie shoot-up a storm and he has absolutely no idea how bad all the 
points made here are on the negative.
So off he goes and produces a million mind blowing images. Everyone is 
looking at his incredible results, MOMA in New York hang a beautiful 
exhibition of nice sized prints! The ooooohhhhhssss and aaaaawwwwwwssss are 
resounding!

Then the world goes nuts, the M8 becomes the camera of the world simply 
because... "THIS GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER DID NOT KNOW ALL THE CRAPPY STUFF THAT 
PEOPLE AE POINTING OUT ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE NEGATIVE THINKERS ABOUT 
EQUIPMENT!  Instead of "WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WONT HURT YOU IF YOU THE PERSON 
HOLDING THE CAMERA JUST USE HIS MAGNIFICENT IMAGES FROM THE HEART!


AND DAMD THE TORPEDOES AND HAS FUN WITHOUT A CLUE ABOUT ALL THIS BACK AND 
FORTH GARBAGE OF THINGS WRONG ABOUT IT AND THAT EVERY OTHER EXPOSING MACHINE 
 (CAMERA) DOES IT BETTER. MAYBE SOME TIMES ALL THE TECHIE STUFF OVERWHELMS 
THE "COMMON SENSE OF MANY A PHOTOGRAPHER!"

Me and my M8 just go out, shoot the assignment with nary a negative thought 
about FF and other things and just have a damn fine time happy snapping  
away with nary a worry.  Client is more than happy, I get paid a bunch of 
DOLLARS, M8 get's a pat for a job well done  and we simply move onto the 
next shoot!

See folks how simple it can be without all this FLUFF-FLUFF  techie 
comparison stuff?

Just  passing afternoon offering. :-)

But you folks go on with all this techie stuff! Me? I'll be out having fun 
using my M8 and all the ding-bat things supposedly wrong with it.

good day.
cheer,
Old doc Ted! :-) Have nice day.

PS: Oh heck and all you folks who want to smack me/ Please go ahead as it'll 
be kind of helpful to assist in my recovery Thank you
