Dear Philippe, Noted your suggestion about more challenging lighting conditions ~ it is a sensible one and if the opportunity arises, I will try to compare flare and other factors like contrast. In the mean time, I am definitely keeping my copy of your pet lens. To be honest, I always associate the Angenieux with you - a few years back you used to post images with your Angies, and the truth be told that this thread was a major influence in my replacing my father's wobbly Leica (by Minolta not Kyocera) telephoto zoom lens with this Angenieux 3X70 zoom. Its too bad you can't use a R-to-Oly adapter with your Angenieux lenses. It would be fun to see some of your "Angel series" by Angies. One reason why I went the Canon D-SLR route - of course that was prior to the Leitax option. However, my use of R optics on EOS digital will mostly be at wider apertures, and I'm content with my set-up at this point in life.

Thanks for posting this comparative series. Maybe, and in the sake of honesty, you could try again shooting when light conditions are more drastic, against the light for instance, or where there's much more constrast. I don't know how my pet would fare, but I'm curious to know and would be thankful to you if you did. Thanks again Phileicangemix - might also add Oly somewhere in between (wink) ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
