Re: OT: Phoblographer reveiw of the GXR with Leica module

Features like this are what convince me that I don't need autofocus as well. When I can focus so quickly and so easily, even in dim light, why bother with all the complications and drawbacks of AF? On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 2:20 AM, Steven Desjardins wrote: > It would be a feature that would intere

Re: OT: Phoblographer reveiw of the GXR with Leica module

It would be a feature that would interest me in a future mirrorless body. I have tried on on a Sony and it's pretty nice. I suspect that one you really began to use it with MF lenses it would be hard to go back. On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 8:47 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 3:

Looking at these more closely as I prepped them for upload to my gallery, I see that he took TWO (2) photos of the tower collapsing, the second one fuzzy as he backed up to get away. Then the editor for the Smithsonian special made three images from the good one by cropping. Then threw in some b
