[LRflex] Re: I need some advice

Hi Brenden I use my 50 mm summicron f2 on Nikon D-200. In the beginning I 
thought I have a 70 mm F 2. because of 1.4 lens factor. But the photos are not 
having a tele effect. just a blow out of a normal perspective.here  is 
popphoto.com. giving some answers to your question. if you use fx or dx size 
cameras here comes the crop factor. for full size sensors above 16mb.ok but if 
you use smaller sensors you divide the 16mb by lens factor so a 10 mb only 
produces lets say 5 mega pixel. I know it,s confusing. so stick to smaller Dx 
sensors and use your lenses as they are.  Dr. Farzin esthetic Dentist.

I know that some members of this forum are using their Leica R lenses on other 
digital bodies, either by modifying the mounts or using adaptors.

I find myself at a cross road and would like some advice, I am about to upgrade 
my digital camera and get a full frame digital, I currently have a Nikon D70 
but the current Nikon full frame cameras are a bit too expensive at present. My 
son hopes to get the D70 and lenses so I will be starting from scratch as it 
were.


What full frame digital body would people recommend? It is to be used with 
Leica R lenses via an adaptor (so I can still use the lenses on my R6.2) I am 
considering either a Canon 5D or a Sony A700.

Has anyone any thoughts on these? I am interested in landscapes, macros and 
wildlife photography.


Regards
