He needs a list of equipment to be included: bodies, lenses, etc. Also, if you have links to product images and/or descriptive information/technical specs, that would help out tremendously. Please post the information to this thread, and hopefully within a few weeks it'll be assembled and ready to roll. Thanks in advance for the input! :thumb: Jeff FM.com Moderator Feb 14, 2007 at 05:14 PM

How about a Zeiss review page.... one that includes both MM manual focus and Contax N mount lenses autofocus / converted lenses. Feb 14, 2007 at 07:22 PM

Ditto. It would be nice to see Leica M mount lenses in the reivew, like the Zeiss and C/V, but I realise that this list then gets rather long :) I have a couple of C/V lenses and would be glad to review them, as well as my Leica models.

That would be cool, but since none of them are in production anymore, I don't see it happening. Everything else reviewed are things in plentiful supply that anyone can try/buy brand new ( I guess that rules out the DMR :D ) from regular retailers with little/no risk. Feb 15, 2007 at 06:58 PM

Classics, like the discontinued Canon 200/1.8L, are still in the review. Feb 15, 2007 at 07:22 PM
