The Voightlanders look very nice. If I read the information correctly are the Voightlanders and Zeiss Ikon's made by the same people (Cosina)? I also want to confirm that the "M" model indicates it uses an M mount so that it will take Leica lenses (as long as they don't protrude too deep into...

The Olympus reminds me on the Cannon/ Cannonet 28 I have. It was my sisters who got it in the late 70's but never did much with it. It's in pretty much new condition but does need new light sealing. I left it alone as well when I was a kid because I wanted an SLR and interchangable lenses so I...

Thanks for the links Dave. It looks like I've got a lot of reading/learning to do. I would hate to pay the money for a Zeiss and still want the Leica. I don't mind buying a used Leica-especially if it's less than the Zeiss which shouldn'e be a problem. Now I just need to learn what to look for...

Huh..must have been a used one I spotted?? That price does make more cense with it being a f2.8 lens

Thanks Trevor, good link. I don't like the idea of as plastic mounting ring so I was think maybe I should just go with he 18-200 but the reviews aren't that great for that lens-especially since it's over 2x the price. I checked out the 16-85 and that sounds pretty good and I also spotted the...

I need a new lense for my D70s-I'd like the 18-200 VR but the budget would like the AF-S Nikkor 18-105 ED VR... better. Any one use this lens? I checked the site linked a few pages ago but this lens did not have a reveiw yet, maybe it's new?? If I get a grey market import it's just under $300...

Tavis, Sounds like quite a trip. I am wondering if you are planning to move to Brazil after seminary or is this a vacation/trip? With the tight budgets of new ministers it would seem that selling the LC here and picking up something there (if your moving there) would be your better option...

I've got a Domke with the ballistic nylon. It's about 20 years old and barely showing wear. The ballistic was a new choice them over the standard canvas. I thought the ballistic would hold up better than the canvas, so far so good. The hardware on the Domke is top notch. I've looked at the...

I've wanted a rangefinder 35mm for a long time. I've always lusted after Leica's but the sticker shock has and continues to keep me from owning one. I am starting the look into getting one and I am wondering if the Zeiss Ikon range finders are a good alternative to the Leica. I guess what I am...

I was wondering about the second snorkel as well. Any relation to the actor?? Nice kit!

I used to work with a guy that was also a sniper in the same company as Hathcock. When we could get him to talk (very rarely) it was very impressive. After his 4th tour he didn't touch a weapon again until a coyote got one of his horses (20 years later) so he bought a .270 and dropped the coyote...

That sucks that he got shot and broke his arms shortly after! I'd say his rifle is well named "Accuracy International".

here lightning, lighting:sombrero:

I've always thought of it as the way to make tree's not lean away from you when you're using a wide angle lense. Tilt/Shift lenses have two plane adjusters to change the tilt and/or shift of the image in the finder and eventually on film. I haven't seen one of these in a long time and they are...

Please tell us more about which swear words you used. I've tried all I know and none have worked that well!

Well....it looks like the "trail truck" paint job is done. I've got a bad feeling that if it's off the frame now the bulkhead is also shot so you've got body panels and glass. I guess if it's very near of not acutally free and you've got the time and patience (and budget) for the work it would...

Wow that's a nice 109. I'm guessing at 40K the seller is just looking to get out close to what he has in it, that had to be expensive. The thought of 285hp in a series Rover kind of scares me. Did they also convert to disc brakes?

If it does really have a galvy frame that's worth about 2k alone. It sounds like you are interested in a hybrid LR (no not the Prius kind:elkgrin:) so you might find some good info on Roversnorth forum; www.roversnorth.com/forums. There is a whole sub section for hybrids. Another great place...

Congratulations! You're living the dream of many of us.

Check with B&H to see if they have a used G9.
