BTW, a Nikon friend of mine - can't be perfect, can you - saw some
of my 7.5 mp L1 raw files on the Imac last week and said the files
looked much cleaner than his D200's , go figure...
When David advised Alice on the purchase of the L1 for my birthday,
this friend was pushing hard for her to pick the D200, it will have
taken him 3 years to lose his prejudice and admit that after all,
the right choice had been made for me ;-)
Good Morning, Philippe!
You must remember, Mon Ami, that when the L1 suggestion was made,
several factors came into play. (1) Alice wanted to give you a
camera which would accept your Leica and Leica-mount Angineaux lenses
and, at that point in time, the LEITAX conversion mounts were not
available. Thus, Nikon was a non-contender. (2) The camera had to
fit a "reasonable" budget. The L1 was the obvious choice, at the
time, as it was/is essentially the Digilux 3, but at a better
price. Although Leica claim different (and, so they say, better)
firmware, I've never been able to see any difference between the L1
and the Digilux 3 in actual use.
As for your Nikon friend, recommending a Nikon... there's
something I learned from 30 years of retailing Hi-Fi
gear. Virtually every enthusiast, when asked, will always recommend
his friends purchase whatever it was that he bought. After all, he
thought about his purchase long & hard; and made his decision. To
recommend something else would be to admit that he made a
mistake! People don't like to do that.
OTOH, I learned that the only way to bring the customer back for
later purchases was to guide him to a system/product which would fill
his needs, not mine. Thus I learned the arcane art of the unbiased
suggestion ... which, in your case, resulted in the L1.
Long lasting thanks to David :-)
I am truly pleased that you are pleased with it, my friend. And,
judging from the results you get with it, I think it is pleased with you, too!
Best from high in the hills...
David.
