Noctilix, that's one super yummy lens; would never sell it if I owned it.

You're bound to take a hit when selling to a store, they need to resell it and make a profit on it. Richard Kaplan offer an alternative, you can put up the items for sale through them, and they'd take 20% commission. Which Leica lenses do you have, if I may ask?

Happy to be of help. If you are serious about the Leica S, they have a new model being released in a few days' time ... I think it's the 007 with a CMOS sensor (which seems to be an offering from all Medium Format nowadays).

Another point to keep in mind, if you study the lifecycle of the H series, you will see that Hasselblad release a new range every 3 ~ 3 1/2 years, which means the H6 is due out very soon. That really isn't a big issue for me, for two reasons; 1) I am never an early adopter, as I prefer to wait...

I did think of the H5D-40, 50, 50c and 50c WiFi as I was studying which way to go. I ended up going with the 40 for a number of reasons: The 50c & 50c WiFi have the CMOS sensor, which gives much better higher ISO; but as I am predominantly into landscapes, I don't want anything more than an ISO...

I've been away for a while, and just logged in and saw this thread ... Interesting, as I've just made the migration from Nikon to Hasselblad after years of studying the +ve and -ve of MF vs. dSLR. Neil, if you can identify the reason, or reasons, why you think the Hasselblad (or a MF) would...

theoldman, Keep us posted; depending on price, quality / condition and model, I may be very interested.

Happy Birthday Marcel ... hope it's a great day for you :)

Ops! Wrong thread! :p :p

Glad to be of help :)

Blotting with the cotton tea towel is what I do, and it has never caused any damage to any of my lens. Just make sure, obviously, to keep my hands as steady as possible since any sand grain / hard particles on the lens element would cause a nasty scratch with the slightest movement. Why do I...

I would have thought paper towels would disintegrate and create a gunk residue, not forgetting the crazy amount of lint too! A good quality cotton hand / pocket towel is relatively cheap from M&S, and their brand doesn't leave lint, and is support fully too ... helps to wipe your face from rain...

I have both the 24/1.4 & 35/1.4 AF-S, and both are great lenses albeit large in comparison to the manual focus ones. The 20/3.5 Voigt. is just a marvel of a small lens, great rendition, makes you think twice about shooting due to it being manual focus, and makes you that much more agile with...

I carry hand towels with me all the time, and bandanas. These will not stop rain from falling directly on the lens, if that's how the rain and lens are pointed; but I used them to cover my camera and lens, reduces water drops bouncing about and flooding as the cloth absorbs the water! I also...
