OM2n vs Leica M or Pentax LX

"I'm thinking about selling a Leica M and buying a small manual focus SLR such as the OM2n. I prefer the SLR viewfinder and the OM has an exceptional finder. I normally shoot B&W, however color performance of the optics is a factor

I got back into OM cameras early in the year, and it quickly and directly led to me getting back into Ms.

IMO, using a OM1 or 2 and shooting a good RF are very similar experiences.

Ruben,

Bo for both.
Each has pros and cons.

And so your point is?

Different people are at different stages in their photographic journey at different times. We're not all in some kind of quick step synchronization - be it in photography or, life in general.

Someone who has difficulty with RF usage would naturally gravitate to an SLR. Millions of people did beginning around 45 years ago!

How about you enjoying your photographic journey, and let this guy enjoy his w/o criticizing him?

 

[back alley]

i think you guys are all missing the point.

my take?

ruben is upset that on the leica forum at p.net they are talking about non leica things, like slr cameras from oly and pentax.
he doesn't like it when that happens here on the m forum either.

You might wish to re-read Ruben's comments in the photo.net thread. He doesn't appear to be criticising anyone.

Point noted, Joe.

But then, why bring it here?

Man, all these "you can't talk about that here" dudes need to become hermits. A life of quiet contemplation would suit them.

to teach us a lesson.

that they do such horrible things there too and that we also need to stop the insanity 😉

Oh, jeez. Like we need a classroom monitor?

Is Ruben going to tell the teacher who did what when she gets back? 😀

Oh, man: that was a gig that never turned out well when I was in school. Omerta was always best.

Latest turn of thread to the humorous direction, although too wide angle, keeps the subject on frame.
Cheers,
