Yaya so do we have the main course coming from Leaf.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:...mostly cheap appetisers so far....:sleep006:
......they sure feel cheap though....Would love to see Leaf hit one out of the park. Yair, they may be appetizers but they ain't cheap.
Yair,......they sure feel cheap though....
I think that many people, when buying a new car (I know...cars are an awful analogy...) of the same make they had before, wouldn't just buy the same car they drove for 3-4 years, only with a bigger engine in it...Yair,
Please, if you could, explain a bit more about your comment, as I am not understanding what you are inferring. By "cheap" are you suggesting that the prices are very low (hardly seems the case with some of these 50-60MP backs, Hartblei lenses, etc., being discussed)? or that the quality is poor compared to the price? or that the offerings are repurposed gear with marginal updates or changes? or that the devices are afterthoughts, rather than good design?
Not trying to make a debate, just trying to understand your comment about the "cheap appetizers". If that suggests that Leaf has some new line-up of things that overtops everything else out there, that would be very interesting to learn about at this point.

O.K.....fair enough. I agree that many do get onto the upgrade treadmill without considering alternatives sometimes. Problem is that since most of the gear is not fully cross compatible, or requires so many devices and compromises, changing "cars" at a new model is not easy, practical or inexpensive. I would love to see some truly interesting innovations, coupled with more flexibility of use, and at prices that would make adding new and different pieces to the kit less financially stressful. :thumbup:I think that many people, when buying a new car (I know...cars are an awful analogy...) of the same make they had before, wouldn't just buy the same car they drove for 3-4 years, only with a bigger engine in it...
They may have liked the old car but they would normally want a new one with some creature comforts in it, safety features and so on...Especially when paying a premium for it...
Sure we have some new stuff coming though no point in talking about it this early
Yair
Ray,
You have a great set-up to cover most needs. The P30+ will handle the lower light and focal plane needs for shooting, and your H3DII-39 can manage anything you may run into needing more res or higher flash syncs. Not sure what else you could need.

Peter,However I have one question - my H3D11-39 has a very bright viewfinder - much better than aanything from Canon Nikon or Leica..dont know why you think that it needs improvement.
Jack you could saved a bunch of time. Doug did one of these a while ago and just updated it for the new P65+ sensor. You plug a focal length in the field you would like to use an a reference ie: 14mm under the 35mm column and it will populate all the popular film and ccd formats with the corresponding focal length.LOLOL! But one also needs to know what that diagonal signifies Many may not be aware it is how the "normal" focal length for any given format is determined. Ironic perhapas too that I just this morning put together an Excel spreadsheet that did all the calcs for me. I was actually a bit surprised at how little additional diagonal there was to the bigger frame -- just a skosh, about a 10% reduction in effective overall focal length...
