with a nice set of lenses.
Damn it, where is that flipoff emoticon when you need it...
Well the movie Eurotrip teaches us that an M6 can get you special treatment from the girl at the photo lab in Amsterdam ;)
I think Contax will be releasing the first true digital rangefinder. It takes leica mount lenses. will be a 6 megapixel aps sized sensor.
Saw this article about a new D-rangefinder by Cosina/Espon. Whose parent company are they :?:

How is the 3.5cm Elmar performing?

All the well known (street) photographers like Cartier-Bresson and
Winogrand have used Leicas

I'm ignorant. Does the Leica have lenses like 50mm, 28mm, wide, normal, zoom etc as they have for a SLR?
Did Cartier-Bresson take all those portraits with a rangefinder?
Yes, there are interchangable lenses. Sometimes the viewfinder will have coverage for wide angle, 50mm and maybe telephoto so you can compose. Otherwise you will need an eyepiece to compensate for the field of view for that lens.

Cool!!!
But being a 10D guy, why didn't you go in for the Digilux??

If you've ever had one in your hands, you can't let go.
Everything works so super-smooth - the build quality
is amazing and the lenses are outstanding. The downside:
everything with an outstanding price tag. I have always
wanted a Leica - since I haven't used my 10D as much in
the past and I can always borrow one I take the opportunity...
Most of the 'Leica people' are hardcore film lovers, the
Digilux doesn't seem to get that much appreciation from these
people (which doesn't mean it's a bad camera). Also it does
not take other lenses.

I can't speak for doxx, but the digilux is more of a point and shoot with a fixed lens. While the M6 is a professional rangefinder that can take many different lenses.

than a Leica, mostlikely with a 50mm lens.
There are many lenses for Leica available, the M6 with a .72
viewfinder has framelines 35mm, 50mm, and 90mm.
For other lenses with different focal lenghts (wide, super-wide
and telephoto) you'll need to use external viewfinders to frame
the shot.
Honestly a rangefinder performs best with a 35mm or 50mm lens.
Wide is ok, because it's not critical. Long lenses can be a problem
because the image in the viewfinder (it shows just as a fraction
of the viewfinder) is just too small to focus properly. This is SLR
terrain anyway.
There is a Leica zoom lens available, but it's not common at all.
I adore Bresson's portraits!
Thanks for the info re. the mm. It was merely out of curiousity.
Cheers!

Thanks for clearing the doubt for me voods. I had this notion that Digilux was a "Digital Rangefinder", capable of handling multiple Leica lenses. Is there a "Digital Rangefinder" for Leica?
And why would they sell a point 'n shoot (eventhough how classy it might be) for USD1850??? And I have read it in articles that "pros were waiting for the its arrival". Were they?
it will cost about $2,300. A bit much IMO :shock:
