Photograph and Camera talk

all true I think, leica made fabulous glass and great film cameras and could not survive as a business on that alone, the m8 and m9 are mainly for people who need a digital body to put their collection of film lenses on
the experience of shooting a Leica I find very enjoyable but if I got into them again it would be to shoot film

I'm interested mate, but at first I want to get the D700 and the 24-700…then, if money allows it...I'm going for the 105!

Let me know I need to sell it within next 2 weeks

If you're thinking of jumping the Nikon ship, the 5D is a great alternative to the D700–even the original still looks great. Unless you're thinking 5D mark III or a cheap used Mark I, i'd probably stick with the D700 for autofocus reasons. Can't go wrong with either brand these days. Once you go FF after a crop body, you'll never want to go back.
Then again, a used 5D Mk II might be a good bargin if you're into video. It seems like that's the standard for my film student friends on a "budget".

thanks a lot for your opinion dave…
atm i´m really thinking about leaving Nikon and jump on to Canon. i´m after a Canon 5D MKII and the 24-70mm 2.8L lens as my every day gear at first...i think this should do the trick as long as i´m not able to cop another lens (thinking 70-200mm 2.8L or sth.similar)...what do you (or others) think of this idea mate?

Canon 5Dmkii or mkiii with a 24-70 2.8L is an amazing everyday combo.
I'd get a 50 1.4(yes, 1.4) or 85 1.2L next. The 85 is the best canon lens IMO.
Then, the 70-200 2.8, which remember is really fucking heavy.

thanks a lot for the fast reply shane…
so i think i´ve found a nice deal already...1730USD for 5D MKII body + E-6 battery grip with ~12.5k shutter releases
how does that sound?…maybe i can even lower the price!
-
Good Deal but you should be able to find one with a lower shutter count, not that it really matters, but still. Two of my friends have 5D mkii's with +175k shutter counts and still going strong!
Also, although I love the grip, I'd recommend not using it unless you need to shoot for long periods of time, since there's an extra battery in the grip. It gets heavy, comparatively, really fast.

o/course i´ve found some, but i thought cuz the grip is already included i could save some $ in first place as when i´d cop one with lower shutter count and the grip later on…
found one at the same price, without the bg and with 5000 as shutter count!...also with 1year warranty!...
-
I'd go with the warranty.
-
I'd go with the warranty.
gues what i´ll do ;)…i even found a guy selling both...body and glass (both bought a couple months ago!)
so wish me luck!... -
I shoot with a Minolta SRT101. I process my own BLACK/WHITE film @ home.
I'd love to hear judgement and criticisms.
please excuse the scratches
