John,
You want to use a videocam after using a Leica?! :-) Most of the
Leica pros I know use the videocam for ad copy and magazine spreads
but still use their Leicas and silver for "the light" and personal
work (and some "artistic" wedding work). For pro still-videocam work,
5D with Canon and Leica glass or D3 with Nikon glass seem most
prevalent currently among the NY/NJ/CT pros I know.
Given your background, you might enjoy becoming acquainted with this
very nice man.

If you have difficulty finding out how to reach him, I'll try to
facilitate through his cousin who is also an avid Leica M & R man.
Regards,
William

Fellow R Shooters:
Just a little note to introduce myself. My name is John, I
have lived in Philadelphia all of my life. I work for the
philadelphia police dept as a photographer supervisor. We do
prisoner processing, some of the public event stuff and we handle
the still photography for graduations and promotions. We are
responsible for developing all of the film that police shoot during
investigations, that is whats left of it. On the job we use
Nikon digital and film cameras and every once in a while a medium
or large fromat.
Personally I shoot everything from 35mm to 8x10. I do most of
my work in 35mm with Leica M and R cameras. I have been at this
hobby/profession for about 40 years. rvrn though I love M cameras
for their simplicity . I find myself more attracted to the R
cameras there is jsut something about looking through an incredible
peice of glass and composing on the ground glass. I have done over
600 weddings, a lot of portraits. still lifes, and scenics. But,
what I enjoy the most is going to carnivals and public
events. Just taking photos of people having fun.
I am finally ready to give digital a try,( personally i dont
think it will last, LOL) I am thinking of getting one of the new
Canon Rebel XSi nad an adapter and using it with sof this Lieca
glass I already own. are there more than one kind or brand of
adapter out there.
Thanks
John
