My Choice Of Camera-(cont)

Hi Guys,

I would just like to add that this is in fact a digital camera. It’s the latest in the line of the classic ‘M’ series from Leica. It’s an old design which has survived through decades of photographic evolution. The concept is known as ‘rangefinder’ meaning you look through a window off to the side as opposed to through the lens which is the case with most DSLR’s today. The camera doesn’t actually show you what the lens sees when focusing, but attempts to approximate it by way of something called ‘parallax’. Basically, all of this means a lot more work and ‘pfaffing’ around to take a picture. Does this camera take better pictures than lets say a prosumer Nikon or Canon, absolutely not! But it is very engaging and if one likes that aspect of it as do I, then it’s an excellent tool (when it’s not being erratic).

In Germany at the moment. I have a series of acoustic shows over the next week which I’m really looking forward to with my partners, Audi. It is so lovely to be in this great country which has now become a treasured part of my culture.

Here’s another shot from Orlando (I think) taken with the M8.

    your camera can be better, but obviously you’re enjoying your leica and that’s all that matters!

    i couldn’t find any other place to say this, so regarding your marriage: I hope it lasts eternally! I think you have a very unique relationship, and i hope it will last, despite the differences and busy schedules! love her forever!

    Hi there Seal,

    thanks for taking the time to provide this explanation. I love the picture. It’s gorgeous.

    I envy you…Du bist in Deutschland und ich sitze hier. But, I am going back home for my Mom’s 60th Birthday this September. I cannot wait because I am quite homesick.

    Make sure you visit HEIDELBERG (right next to Mannheim). I love these two cities. Enjoy!!! Make sure to let me know how you liked it there. Thanks, Sylvia
