Having migrated from a DSLR to a digital Leica M8 I'm now back to DSLR and waiting impatiently for a Nikon D3S with 14-24 and 24-70 zoom lenses which should arrive tomorrow.
I've had an interesting time with the M8 which has given me extreme satisfaction on many occasions but also some headaches caused by some frequent returns to the factory but mostly with achieving correct framing with the 75mm Summicron (no issues with the wider lenses). I'm sure that I'm mostly to blame because it appears that others are perfectly content but my misframes were quite frustrating especially in work related photography.
By way of an introduction, I've been messing with photography for most of my life mostly for pleasure but increasingly for work. The video feature attacted me to the D3S as I have a frequent requirement for making very short instructional videos about instrumentation which we supply to the environment sector.
I've been reading the Getdpi Leica forum for a while and have been impressed with the politeness and general positive attitude of the members. Refreshingly different from some other sites and compliments to the owners and moderators.
I'll post some pictures as soon as I get to grips with the DS3 meanwhile some galleries are viewable at www.rdubois.zenfolio.com
