      I had a M8 and although I feel Leica makes the best glass in the world I feel the bodies are subpar.

      My GR's lowlight capabilities are light years ahead of the M8's the noise I get at 3200 looks more like film grain the M8 had at 640 ISO.

        Yeah Leica's software doesn't seem to have managed to keep up with it's glass/hardware. I hope they can nail it over the next few years. I really would like to own a 'life long' camera (body) at some point in my life. I've been trading bodies (and systems :o ) since I was in high school.

        Leica have the reputation of the film life long camera, part of the lust/attraction :).

          Ricoh GR… high contrast B&W at ISO 3200

          like these shots 🙂

          Better to wash AN OLD KIMONO than borrow a new one. (Japanese).

                  I think/hope/wish that either the new Sony A7R or a coming Sony A9 will be my 10-15 year camera 🙂

                        Hey camera people.

                        I'm getting a tripod for Christmas…and I don't have a job yet for after I graduate, so I'm gonna try and learn a bit about photography. (no...i'm not gonna try and do anything professionally....I think thats silly for amateurs)

                        I took a photography class in middle school and learned all about aperture, f-stop, etc, but i've forgotten most/all of it. Also, that was all on film SLR.

                        Long story short, I'm looking for a few resources that might be a good primer for me to learn how to shoot on something other than auto. I'm probably gonna dabble in both macro and landscape shots, so some resource with some variety would be good too. I've got a Canon t3i with an 18-55mm lens.

                        All suggestions welcome

                                          How do you like it? Which lenses do you have? How well does it shoot in low light?

                                            I have a bunch of weird lenses, but so far I've been using a tamron adaptall 17/3,5, cosina voigtlander 35/1.2, minolta rokkor 58/1.2 and contax-g zeiss 90/2.8 mostly. And I must say that it is really impressive in low light imo. I could shoot a few test frames tomorrow and show you how it is!
