R: [Leica] Olympus v. Leica

["Guido Ridoli" <guirid@numerica.it>]

Dear Peter,
Why do you say about my message:

:It is kind of silly to post Olympus v. Leica on a
Leica group. Each has
:their own virtues. If you want a small SLR than
the Olympus is the way to
:go. If you prefer a small rangefinder than its
the Leica. Each has a top
:flash sync speed of 1/60 for the Olympus v. 1/50
for the M6.
:Granted there are Leica optics that are superior
to the Olympus, but when it
:comes down to it, if your wallet can only afford
beer, and you like beer,
:you don't need to buy champagne.
:Peter K.

:I think the OM system is great. Yes, you can get
a 350 F2.8 and a Zuiko 16mm
:F3.5 fish-eye (under $700) from KEH TODAY.  So
its easier than you think.

:I had an OM camera and lens.  The 50mm F1.4 is
great.  Superb sharpness
:easily equal, and I think better than Nikon.
Olympus put out some
:outstanding lenses but never did make the grade
when the world moved to
:autofocus.
:Other nice lenses to get, the 21mm F2, 180mm
F2.8.  Quality of these lenses?
:WOW! is the best word to use.
