    WTB: Leica M-L Adapter (most preferably Silver Color)

    Thank you Peter. Looks perfect. I'll pass this on to my acquaintance to let them know its available. Haven't spoken to them in a few weeks and don't know if they are still contemplating getting one, but if I find out they are, I'll definitely let you know. Again, appreciate it! Dave

    WTB: Leica M-L Adapter (most preferably Silver Color)

    Hi Peter, Appreciate your letting me know, thank you! Just two days ago I found one and it's on its way to me as we speak. I haven't received it yet. Wish I had known yours was available. I have a acquaintance that was contemplating getting a silver one for his Leica CL digital...but not sure...

    Panasonic Lumix S-R24105 L Zoom lens

    Thanks Bill, My experience is with 3rd party lenses is the QC can vary somewhat more than the OEM manufactures, especially comparing sample to sample variation. Sigma has gotten considerably better over the last many years but I recall the very early days how mediocre their offerings were...

    Panasonic Lumix S-R24105 L Zoom lens

    Bill, it was just one of those things and certainly not a commentary on the QC of Panasonic lenses like this one. What caused such an occurrence, who knows and from my brief testing of a previous copy prior to purchase, the lens as you say is an exceptionally good performer, all things...

    Hi All, As the title says, I am looking to purchase a Leica M-L Adapter in Silver color. Please let me know if you have one, condition, if boxed and the price. I have access to a black color one I have been using temporarily using from an acquaintance, but much prefer to purchase a silver...

    Panasonic Lumix S-R24105 L Zoom lens

    I've heard directly from others (not having used it first hand), that the Leica 24-90 f2.8-4 is excellent-superb optically for a mid range zoom (good amt of CA at the wider end) and fairly well accepted to be optically superior to the Panasonic 24-105 f4 by a noticeable margin. With that said...

    Pentax 645D help needed; black frames

    You started with cameras at just breaking at 5MP? What a luxury! Often those I used were around 1MP :) . I too like Will worked with the Pentax 645D and loved its CCD output (as I do from the Leica M9 CCD) and find output from CMOS just different (not better or worse) regardless of post...

    Fun with MF images 2021

    I just came across this wonderful pic you took Joe. So adorably cute! I could be their twin....as at that age I too had fire red hair and a face full of freckles. In those days though I think the only pics of me were in B&W. Besides that, there wasn't a a National Redhead day back then :( ...

    That is so kind of you and I couldn't agree more with your statement about missed opportunities although a few minutes prior to that Metro train (which generally stop for no one (and did for the fireworks)....a beautiful freight train with large diesel engine with double big headlights and some...

    Thank you for your Kind words Tom, greatly appreciated! Would have loved you and other Getup members there to shoot with, especially with the immense talent shown by everyone here. The National firework display is something to look forward to each year (except when waiting for it in near 100...

    "A Capital 4th". Washington D.C. Pentax 645Z; FA 45-85mm or FA 200mm f4. Back Story: In past years, photographing the National 4th of July fireworks in Wash. D.C. , I generally picked one of four designated spots. Each offered something different in terms of the view of monuments or...
