HOWEVER?????? Me not being a techie I was with Bob Adler in Yosemite and praising my 15mm on the M8! :-) And Bob says "No it doesn't cover 15mm!" Me? "But it says 15mm right on the lens and that is why I bought it!" Bob says again, "But it isn't a 15mm lens on an M8!" Techie dumb-ass me challenges him verbally. " HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN IT'S ADVERTISED AS 15MM ? Bob smiles nicely and offered... "But on an M8 it isn't a full frame body so it doesn't record a 15mm image!" Me, "becoming more ticked off!" When for several years any time I used the 15mm lens on my M8's the image always looked wider." Bob smiles nicely again and offered. "Well the image would look a little wider, maybe 16mm? 17mm? But not 15mm. So finally it came together sort of and I said? "OH you mean the hole in the body to the sensor isn't big enough to allow a 15mm image recorded???" Bob smiled, nicely nodded his head realizing "techie dumb-ass Ted finally got the reason!" :-) Then I got completed frustrated ( use of unrepeatable words here ) about Leica not building the camera correctly!! Please don't bother explaining it to me as Bob most kindly did. Thanks again Bob! :-) Now I feel ripped off that I don't really have a 15mm recording device! "Device?" Heck I can't call it a camera anymore because it cheats me every time I want a 15mm shot! :-( cheers, Dr. ted :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jay Burleson Sent: December-20-15 10:16 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Hatch to the Wardroom Thank you Jim.
