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.

Merci, Eric

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)
