what happened to the "real" quality from the 60's & 70's??? you could use those bodies and lenses as hammers to tack up back drops for photo shoots... and then you could still get the Kodachrome shots you took after doing so, developed w/o much of a hassle...
times, they are a changin'...
Sad to say, even looking at equipment and things made in the 70s, but they don't make 'em like they used to. My small bevy of manual focus Leica R lenses each are solid-plus. Now if only their camera internals were as reliable...
Stop rubbing it in "Mr. I got Leica for a steal" :jest: :whine:
Okay, the 50mm 1.8 manual lens on my F3 is solidly built, unlike newer AF lenses.
Still thinking about a digital body to use with the Leica gear. Other than the older 50mm Nikon lens mentioned above, I don't have any legacy gear to hinder my decision one way or another. Any thoughts on your end PC? Budget in the sub-$1k range, movie could be of value in the not so distant future, but not absolutely essential. Options options.
