Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2005Leica DSLR
Got the B&H Photo catalog of SLRs a while ago. Was looking at the Leica digital back for the R8 and R9. Anyone know something of it? BTW looked back 1000 messages and no mention of it. Sorry if I'm reopening a subject well discussed previously.... Longfellow > Got the B&H Photo catalog of SLRs a while ago. Was looking at the Leica > digital back for the R8 and R9.

Not much discussed, you could google/groups rather than searching... 1.37x crop factor, 10 Mpix. Probably great. No first hand testimony to date. A wee bit pricey.

There is apparently a very long waiting list for the DMR (digital module R). I've heard that Phase One make a back that's not too shabby as well www.phaseone.com. > Got the B&H Photo catalog of SLRs a while ago. Was looking at the Leica > digital back for the R8 and R9.

If you want 28mm (equiv.) wide angle with the reduced sensor size, then add another $7,000 for a 21mm f2.8. It all looks somewhat underwhelming to me, but I doubt whether I'll ever get my hands on one to find out first hand. >> Got the B&H Photo catalog of SLRs a while ago.

If you don't want SLR and have older Lecia lenses for the rangefinders, this looks like a good option. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0403/04031101epsonrd1.asp I keep think about getting one sometime to use my M lenses with. ********************************************************* "It looked like the sort of book described in library catalogues as "slightly foxed", although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had been badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well." _Light Fantastic_ Terry Pratchett Have you noted the weight of this thing? The R9 + DMR + batteries clocks in at 1.4kg - about twice the weight of a D70. Have you noted the weight of this thing?

I guess you've never carried a serious camera around with a long lens. ********************************************************* "It looked like the sort of book described in library catalogues as "slightly foxed", although it would be more honest to admit that it looked as though it had been badgered, wolved and possibly beared as well." _Light Fantastic_ Terry Pratchett |
