My Om1n+50mm1.8 cost me $125. I spent $80 for cleanup, (new foam,
battery conversion, new seals, full cleaning of lens and camera...) So
$205 TOTAL. I think his Summicron costs more then my entire setup.
Also, if I'm being attacked, I will not hesitate to beat him over the
head with my OM, but I know Leica users would never do that to their
"babies'.
Here's what I can do: If it's off the tripod, then I'll have mirror
lockup. I will try not to shoot in low light conditions; as you are
correct, wide open is not that great, and also, RF's have about 1-2 stop
advantage over SLRs in slower shutter speeds.
If it's in the day time, and I have a roll of Reala in mine, and we our
outdoors, trust me, I'll give him a SERIOUS run for his money.
What I would like to do is (hehehe) take some portrait shots outdoors of
his wife with my Tokina 90mm (sharpest in my bag, sharper then my
Zuiko's) with something like Reala, and let HIM develop it... And have
his wife comment on it... My Tokina is very sharp, even wide open.
Drop that background out, (it has great bokeh too) and pick out her
zits in the picture...
I'll let you all know how to battle goes... At least if I lose, it's
not to a C* or N*
