Marvin,I purchased an Alpa 10d in 1970 with the 50mm 1:1.8 Kern Macro Switar at the Demville Camera Shop, Denville, NJ (now defunct) while in the army stationed at Fort Monmouth. The pictures were beautiful! Alas, I sold it to some NATO dude in Turkey because I was broke at the time - ah youth! Looking back on it, it was probably the best 35mm camera I ever owned and I wish I had it today *sigh*.
Go for it. Rob On Sep 28, 2009, at 10:18 AM, Marvin wrote:
As anyone experience with Alpa cameras. I have been searching the internet and looking at the Kern Macro Switar images, a standard lens on the Alpa,and they look beautiful. What is the recommended Alpa body to go for?I have even heard the Swiss lenses rival or even surpass the German lenses.Thanks, Marvin. -----Original Message----- From: rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Austin Franklin Sent: 28 September 2009 21:56 To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Capa's Cameras Hi Marc,The GT-40 made by ERA are not regarded as "copies" within the car community: they are "developments".Understood, and agreed. But, who makes that distinction between "copy" and "development"? As I said, there technically is no such thing as a copy...no two physical things are %100 identical. Even if one of the milling machinesused has a better tolerance, that is technically an improvement, andtherefore could possibly not be considered a "copy". Changing material, forsay the mount, could also make it not a "copy". Unfortunate that semantics is(are ;-)...
