Hardwood flooring made from pine was typical of the early Victorian era, but for warmth, carpets were often placed on top of the wooden floors. Wood flooring was used in the main rooms of a home, while tile was sufficient for other areas. The flooring was laid lengthwise and not in an elaborate style. Painting it with a decorative colour was considered normal for the era. Different wood flooring options were available for the different classes of the early Victorian era.

Plank Flooring
In the early Victorian era, wood planks were customarily used for flooring. Most were laid by hand and then painted to conceal the wood look. The planks varied in widths and were not symmetrical in their installation. In better homes, tongue and groove planks of matching widths were installed, waxed and admired. Those who could afford it edged their plank flooring with inlaid parquet designs; others applied stencils to the wood, creating a border.
Wood Carpet
The Victorian Era and the Industrial Age (1840-1910) brought mass production of "wood carpets," essentially a piece of canvas with thin, 1½-inch strips of wood glued onto the canvas. These carpets rolled up for delivery. Installation, although touted in advertisements as easy, was actually difficult and time-consuming. The wood carpets looked good initially, but squeaks, splits and cracks soon appeared.
Parquetry came into fashion as an edging designed around a timber floor to create a border. Small pieces of wood were geometrically arranged in herringbone, chevron or basket-weave designs and laid from the walls inward. Those who could afford it used parquetry for the entire floor. A less expensive alternative was to use the designs as a border. A carpet could then be placed within the edging for a completed look. Inlaid designs and minute characterisations were incorporated into the parquetry, along with different wood types and colours. Parquetry became an art form highly regarded and admired.
Types of Wood Flooring
Pine was the essential wood flooring of the early Victorian era. It was stained and varnished to imitate the more expensive woods in the main living areas and left plain in bedrooms and secondary rooms. Oak and mahogany were used in homes of the upper classes and while they had a certain elan, these floors were also covered by lush Victorian carpets featuring grand designs. It is the oak and mahogany flooring that has withstood the test of time and is often found in Victorian homes built in that era and still lived in today.

Kobe Bryant's jersey has faced snow, rain and wind. Yet, it's endured.
That's the lesson I took from the above video, which Kobe posted to Facebook today.
Oh, and that Kobe will return Sunday against the Raptors. I guess he's been through a lot, too.
Sunday will mark just 240 days since he tore his Achilles, making this turnaround remarkably quick rehabilitation for a player his age. It's fair to question how good Kobe will be upon his return, but you can't doubt his resolve.

At its meeting yesterday, the FCC took two big actions affecting broadcasters. First, it approved a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking looking to adopt a transition plan for television broadcasters to move to the new ATSC 3.0 standard . The Commission apparently took the general actions previewed in its draft order released earlier this month, though additional questions were said to have been teed up for public comment in the final version of the NPRM. The final version had not been released when this article was written on Friday morning. The FCC press release on its action yesterday is here .

Static and dynamic efficiency of irreversible health care investments under alternative payment rules
The paper studies the incentive for providers to invest in new health care technologies under alternative payment systems, when the patients' benefits are uncertain. If the reimbursement by the purchaser includes both a variable (per patient) and a lump-sum component, efficiency can be ensured both in the timing of adoption (dynamic) and the intensity of use of the technology (static). If the second instrument is unavailable, a trade-off may emerge between static and dynamic efficiency. In this context, we also discuss how the regulator could use control of the level of uncertainty faced by the provider as an instrument to mitigate the trade-off between static and dynamic efficiency. Finally, we calibrate the model to study a specific technology and estimate the cost of a regulatory failure.

Synopsis for "Shot Through the Heart (Part I of II)"
The assassin Deadshot stakes out a sky-rise building occupied by prominent Gothamite, Lew Moxon. He makes plans to conduct a hit on the sky-rise later that evening.
Back at Wayne Manor, Sasha reminds Bruce of tonight's reception party welcoming Lew back to Gotham. Bruce had totally forgotten about the party and goes down to the Batcave to research Moxon's history. Lew Moxon used to be a powerful underworld figure in Gotham in the years preceding Batman's first appearance. But when he began to dabble in politics, his past came back to haunt him and Lew was forced to flee the country. But now he's back, and looking to plant a stake in his Gotham interests once again.
That night, all of Gotham's elite gather at the Lew Moxon reception. Bruce re-unites with Mallory Moxon, and suddenly he remembers meeting Lew once before. When Bruce was around eight-years-old, he met young Mallory at the Du Lac Resort while vacationing. The two shared their first kiss together at that time.
Not only is Bruce surprised to see Mallory again, he is equally surprised to find that Zeiss is Lew Moxon's bodyguard. He secretly communes with Oracle and has her gather as much information on Zeiss as she can.
Suddenly, Deadshot begins firing shots from a sky-walk across the street. He isn't trying to hit anyone. He is merely testing Zeiss' capabilities. Bruce changes to Batman and leaps out the window. But before he lands, Deadshot shoots the Bat-Line in half.
- First appearance of the modern version of Lew Moxon. On Earth-Two, in the Golden Age continuity, Lew Moxon was the man who originally hired Joe Chill to murder Thomas and Martha Wayne.
- This issue include a flashback of Bruce Wayne and Mallory Moxon at age eight.

Measuring your child's feet can often be a chore. Though most younger children aren't fond of having their feet measured, finding the correct-fitting shoe for your child is important for more reasons than just comfort alone. As your child's feet grow and develop, having properly fitting shoes with good support can help lessen the risk of having serious foot problems in adulthood.
- Skill level:
- Moderate
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Children's Brannock Device
Show More
- 1
Use a children's Brannock Device to measure for your child's correct shoe size. The Brannock Device has been the industry standard for shoe measurement since 1927, and should be available for use at a shoe retailer near you. Because Brannock Devices are available to measure for men's, women's and children's sizing, it's important to be sure you're using the Junior or Ultra Jr. Brannock Device to find the right measurement for your child.
- 2
Put the Junior Brannock Device on the floor and slide the width bar out to its widest measurement and the arch length indicator out so that the foot can be easily positioned. This is the correct starting position for the Junior Brannock Device.
- 3
Have your child stand up straight, dividing her weight evenly between both feet. Position her right heel into the right heel cup on the Junior Brannock Device. To get an accurate measurement, be sure her heel is slid all the way back into the cup.
- 4
Measure your child's heel-to-toe length first. Gently press your child's toes flat against the Junior Brannock Device and look straight down over the longest toe. To find the accurate heel-to-toe length, stand facing opposite your child and read the Junior Brannock from the side facing you.
- 5
Find your child's heel-to-arch length next. Slide the arch pointer forward so that it fits the ball joint of the foot. The pointer will then indicate what shoe size will best fit your child's arch.
- 6
Compare your child's heel-to-toe and heel-to-arch measurements. If the number is the same, that is the size shoe your child will need. Often, the numbers are not the same. In that case, you will need to go with the larger of the two measurements.
- 7
Measure the width of your child's foot. Push the width bar in so that it is resting snugly against the side of your child's foot. Find your child's width based on your child's previously determined shoe size (Steps 1 through 6). The width next to your child's shoe size will be the correct width to fit their feet.
- 8
Turn the Junior Brannock Device around and repeat Steps 1 through 7 using the left foot.
Tips and warnings
- Most shoe retailers have shoe fit specialists available to assist you in finding both the right size and the best style of shoe for you and your family.
- Because children often have two differently sized feet, it's important to always measure both feet and fit to accommodate the larger foot.

What's the difference between a "regular" mouse and a "gaming" mouse? It's a reasonable question, and one that Corsair hopes to answer with the Raptor M45 Gaming Mouse. Basically, the difference boils down to features and responsiveness. The Corsair Raptor M45 has both of these in spades.

Gerorge died suddenly at the age of 65, according to an obituary notice that was posted on the website of Fairfield, Connecticut funeral home Lesko & Polke.
The 75-year-old lifestyle mogul's spokeswoman Susan Magrino confirmed to The New York Post's Page Six gossip column that it was her brother who had passed away.
"Martha lost her youngest brother, George, suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this (past) week," she said. "The family requests that you respect their privacy during this time of sorrow."
Editors at Page Six report that his death was believed to be due to a suspected heart attack.
Martha and George were reportedly very close. His wife Rita worked in her office and he had appeared alongside the celebrity homemaker in one of her online shows.
His death is not the only heartbreak she has suffered in recent years as in 2014 her sister Laura died aged 59 after suffering from an aneurysm.
George's funeral will be held on Saturday (25Mar17).

Tours in Nepal - Useful Information
Casual clothing can be worn at any time during your stay in Nepal. However keep in mind that you are travelling in a mainly Hindu country. Please make sure you are appropriately dressed. Clothes that are too tight fitting, short or revealing such as shorts, mini skirts or low cut T-shirts should be avoided, especially in the country side. Whether you need warm woolen or down clothes or light summer clothes depends on your travel itinerary, on the altitude and season you travel. In high altitudes temperature changes can occur very quickly and vary drastically.
The climate of Nepal varies depending on the altitude of the area visited. A visist to Nepal is possible all the year round, but activites such as mountain flights, jungle safaris, rafting and trekking are best done from October to May.
The Nepalese Rupee is subdivided into 100 Paisa. Coins are available in 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 & 100 Paisa. The denominations of notes are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 & 1000 rupees. For the current exchange rate check our website.
220 volts AC, 50 cycles throughout the country. Australian plugs will fit in Nepalese power points. Please be aware that in many areas there is no electricity or it is not reliable, especially in remote areas and on treks.
Hotel Accommadation:
Depending on your chosen type of accommodation, your room will vary. Kathmandu offers some beautiful International Hotels with high standard but do bear in mind that there is a big shortage of trained staff in Nepal, and things may not "hop" the way you expect. In general accommodation is clean, comfortable and acceptable for western travellers. All our hotels have private facilities. Of course lodges and other types of accommodations are of lesser standard..
Most hotels can arrange laundry, though rarely dry-cleaning. However, other than in Western-run or superior hotels, you can expect boiling, or other "rough" handling to be the order of the day. OK for T-shirts and cottons, but, not for your fine silks!
You can expect your bags to have a rough time in Nepal! Take sturdy luggage such as the nylon sausage type made of non-tear material. If you use bags with wheels or rucksacks with frames try to find one where they can be removed or are well recessed. This is not only because they may be broken off from your bags, but, they can also do great damage to other people's baggage. Your international baggage allowance is 20 kilos (44 lbs) in Economy Class.
Stay safe
The streams should be considered polluted and whilst bottled water is often available the disposal of plastic bottles is a problem. Have some means to purify water, iodine and/or a fine ceramic filter are the best options.
Responsible Travel
A proper VISA to enter and stay in Nepal is a must. There are reported cases when travelers are advised non-requirement of Nepal VISA by their travel agents. Practically every foreign national requires VISA to enter these countries. Do not encourage beggars. Don't trust strangers with money. Trust your hotel, but not people you may bump into on the streets. It is advisable to cover yourself with travel insurance for thefts, loss and medi-claim. Carry proper maps of the places proposed to visit in Nepal, as signboards are often absent. Try to reach a station during daytime if traveling on your own. In any case avoid persistent touts and taxi-drivers at airport/stations/bus stand to help you find your hotel. Always use tourist assistance desk for proper advice. Women traveling alone in certain deserted places should avoid walking at odd hours. While changing money, insist on getting encashment certificate. Do not checkout of the hotel in hurry. While checking out it has been noticed in some hotels, the extras are unreasonably charged which the guest hurriedly pays without cross-checking. Do not leave your cash and valuables in your hotel rooms. Keep your cash divided in different pockets. Take care of proper disposal of your rubbish always whether you are exploring Cities, Himalayas or anywhere else. Always use strong suitcases/baggage, as mishandling is common at airports/stations. Don't tip unreasonably and unnecessarily in a hotel. The NEWS soon spreads in the hotel and by the time you checkout there will be a group of them saluting you to expect something. Most of the monuments give very good discount for students from all over the world. They must carry there valid school identity card.All Inclusive Price

The diary of Anne Frank is undoubtedly the most famous one in the world. In what is now known as the Anne Frank House, hiding in the Secret Annex Anne wrote about her fears, annoyances and dreams for the future. A visit to this house on Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam brings history back to life and puts a face on the Holocaust.
It is hard to imagine that 13-year-old Anne had to live in only a few small rooms on Prinsengracht, without ever being able to step outside. Together with her father Otto, her mother Edith, her sister Margo, the Van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer, Anne spent 2 years during the Second World War in hiding. She shared her bedroom with Fritz Pfeffer, the man who often annoyed her. Pfeffer made odd sounds in his sleep and Anne could only use the small desk in the bedroom when he was taking an afternoon nap.
The Secret Annex has been restored to its original state and left practically untouched – from the bedroom still decorated with pictures of movie stars, dancers and artwork to the front office window where Anne tried to steal a secret glance of the outside world. Most visitors are struck by the size of the rooms in the Secret Annex: it seems almost unimaginable that 8 people spent 2 years hiding in these 75 square metres.
When Anne looked out the window she gazed upon a large, white chestnut tree. She frequently wrote about this tree in her diary and described how it changed throughout the seasons. Unfortunately, the tree is now no longer there, but its cuttings have been spread around the world so Anne's tree continues to grow and flourish. The church clock of the Westerkerk is still visible from the Secret Annex. When the church chimes ring, you can visualise the diary even more, as Anne loved the sound of the chimes and often mentioned the church in her diary. The original version of it is also on display in the Anne Frank House.
"It is hard to imagine that 8 people hid in this tiny space for 2 years"
The diary begins on 12 June 1942, when Anne received the diary as a gift for her 13th birthday. Her last entry was on 1 August 1944. Three days later, on 4 August, life in the Secret Annex was brutally interrupted. The people in hiding had been betrayed and all 8 were arrested and deported. Only Otto Frank survived the war. When he recovered Anne's diary after the war, he decided to publish it. The diary has been translated into more than 70 languages, which exceeds the number of translations of any other Dutch-language book in history. To date, over 30 million copies have been sold.

Its by the marina with all the yacht's parked & the breeze is just lovely for/from the usual hot & humid Singapore weather. You don't have to be dressed up. Just be comfortable & enjoy your meal in a quiet & peaceful place away from the city. My second time here & I must say, I love this place for... More
Quayside Isle Sentosa is a superb place to spend a few hours for lunch watching the world go by. After some deliberation (spoiled for choice with the numerous restaurant options) we landed on Sole Pomodoro and took a table for 6. The pizzas were excellent thin crust authentic Italian style.
Tried the lasagne, had pizza, had salad, kids pasta. Great value, accepts credit cards, nice seating by the marina (amazing views), solid service. Well worth it - good value. Highly recommend
The worst Cesar and Caprese salads we tried. They did not have ravioli at the lunch time, thus we had to take salads. Considering the unreasonable price for food and beverage, tiny portions it's better to find another place for lunch or dinner.
Ever been to Sentosa on a lazy working day for lunch? We did just that and avoided the crowds & the lazy overcast cool afternoon was in stark contrast to the " typical Singapore weather"!... & we were not complaining! We had the Quayside all to ourselves practically, but for the few families & babies in tow, possibly residing in... More
Soggy French fries that were probably leftovers, really poor pizza, even by the generally poor Singapore standards. Nice bread. Really really wouldn't recommend eating here. Disappointing.
Went there few times as it was near to my working place. Food especially pizza was nice but not the Aglio Olio. Service was good and very friendly staff.
Sentosa Cove is a bit like a little country on its own. For our anniversary we decided to head down there and see what we can find. The restaurant we started at had bad service so we decided to go to Sole Pomodoro instead. What a blessing. Pizza was great, view is fantastic. We sat outside on the deck area.... More
Tried a couple of times dining, loved the pizzas and the risotto (even though they only have the mushroom risotto). The view facing the dock is just amazing..

Tom Heneghan is reporting on a coup d'etat being planned and pushed forward by Daddy Bush and James Baker who was responsible for stealing the year 2000 election for the Bush family. Tom's sources in French Intelligence have told him that James Baker is trying to make a deal and run a coup d'etat against Trump and install Mike Pence! They think they are going to impeach Donald Trump, put in Pence as President and then install Jeb Bush as Vice President!
James Baker, Daddy Bush and Mike Pence were all buddy buddy at the Super Bowl! Tom reports Mike Pence's mind has been poisoned against General Michael Flynn who is well aware of the Bush Crime Syndicate and their narcotics trafficking. They are trying to get Mike Pence to convince Donald Trump to get rid of General Flynn!
The Bushes are desperate to get rid of General Michael Flynn and you see this happening in the fake news which is constantly trying to throw Flynn under the bus!
This is key information that must be shared through all true alternative media. Hit Donald Trump's twitter feed so he is aware of what's going on! He also has another snake in his camp named Reince Preibus who I wouldn't trust to run a lemonade stand! Preibus is a total fake RINO stooge for the Bush establishment and has been trying to get rid of the Trump loyalists! I believe it will come out he is the big leaker at the White House!
General Michael Flynn is key to exposing the Bush Crime syndicate that has destroyed this nation. According to Stew Webb and Tom Heneghan, the Bushes should be in jail and not talking to Mike Pence at the Super Bowl plotting and planning evil! If the photo above doesn't make your sick to your stomach then you don't understand the evil of the Bushes. Stew Webb and Anthony Lavey put out something every Bush lover should hear with their own ears! This information has been censored by all the gatekeepers controlling alternative media! We're still slaves because people listen to controlled opposition who censor! And those reading and listening to these gatekeepers won't ask them why they've censored this huge interview below which would destroy the Bushes forever if it was put out there! I dare anybody to ask their favorite alternative media host why this information by Anthony Lavey hasn't been put forward by them! Watch the excuses begin! Fakes can't handle Stew Webb and Tom Heneghan because they are real and name the names!

can I use IOS4 with leopard and I have a problem with my email addressHi,
I just updated my iPod (4th generation) to ios5, and it seems like I cannot use iCloud if I don't have Lion. Can I transfer my file by Bluetooth then? I'm using Macbook Pro.
When I'm put my Apple ID in and type in the password, it tells me to check my email, since it cannot be registered or something like that. BUT, there's nothing in my email box. Of course, I didn't type my password to address wrong. What do I do...?

ReMix: Pokémon Red Version "Spume"
Help us take OCR to the next level by supporting us on
- Game: Pokémon Red Version (Nintendo, 1996, GB)
- ReMixer(s): Rozovian
- Composer(s): Junichi Masuda
- Song(s): "Sea"
- Posted: 2012-02-24, evaluated by the judges
- Album: Featured on Pokémon: The Missingno Tracks
- Terms (BETA): ambient electronic synth tempo-fast
Clearly Rozo revised this Pokémon mix off Missingno quite a few times:
"'Spume' is probably finished now. Everyone on the Pokémon project says it was finished like years ago. :D When I started this remix, it was supposed to be an atmospheric track, in contrast with the source. Then it wanted to have a beat. And the beat didn't sound good. So it was revised once or twice, and then declared finished. And then revised further. Eventually, it was good enough, and was declared finished. A later revision further improved it. And then it was finished... for a while."
Some tracks feel done almost immediately, others you just keep going back to and tweaking ad infinitum... Gotta stop somewhere, though! This is an odd, upbeat little track that blends a happy-go-lucky melody with some distinct chromatic percussion, sonar pings, and a more ambient intro. It's an interesting juxtaposition, almost as if someone took a sample library intended for film/scoring purposes and built a whole synth-pop track around it. Or also like if a wild pokemanz suddenly popped up in the middle of U-571 or Das Boot and started dancing around. The beginning has a deliberate, exploratory vibe, and I really love the build that starts bubbling up at 1'26" and then transitions into full gear at 1'37" - good stuff. Judges were split on this mix, mostly because some felt there was too jarring a stylistic contrast between the intro and the rest of the arrangement. Palpable writes:
"Like Jesse, I found myself liking the introduction most in this song, because of how off-kilter and minimal it was. I won't say the source was super obvious there, but I was hearing it in the places Larry mentioned, plus those liberal areas, some of which used the original's chords. Actually I felt a little disappointed when the song switched into happy bubbly mode, but that's more a subjective preference - it was fine as far as songs go, there was enough to sustain my interest."
I like that Rozo did something new, and I do like hearing disparate instrumentation & styles combined, but I could also see it not being everyone's cup of tea - you actually have to kinda get your head around it and rid yourself of certain expectations to fully enjoy the arrangement. It's a novel, unexpected take on such a sugary source, so if you're looking for something a little different, definitely check it out!

I just got my new Canon 20D body and 100mm f2.8 EF USM Canon lens. One thing I was curious about was the focus issue with R lenses, so I took some macro comparison shots with my Leica 100mm F4 Macro Elmar R using a Photodiox adapter on the 20D body. I fully expected, before the tests, no to see any apprecable difference between these lenses. In fact, I guess I expected to the Leica lens underperform in comparison to the faster, more modern Canon lens, which is optimized for the 20D body, yadda yadda yadda. Boy was I surprised. First thing I found out was that the Canon lens gets slower at close focus distances. But the F-stop reading in the finder does not change from f2.8! What a con! This is mentioned in the manual, and I confirmed it by placing a neutral grey card in front of the lens, and adjusting the focus from infinity to the closest focus point, with manual exposure mode on the 20D. If the shutter speed is fixed for a proper exposure at infinity, focusing to close focus drops the exposure by 2 stops. This makes this lens effectively f5.6 at near focus points. The Leica R lens, of course, does no such thing. F4 at infinity, f4 at the close focus endpoint, and R lens is now faster for macro work than the Canon. I tested the focus accuracy (meaning image sharpness) at macro levels of about 1:4 with the Leica lens. With the stock screen in the Canon, I had no trouble focussing, even stopped down 2 or 3 stops. The digital images manually focused (R lens) were as accurate as ones made with the Canon lens auto-focussed. I tried a number of other R lenses from 180mm F2.8 to 24mm, and I had no focus problems whatsoever. I made a couple comparison shots at 1:4 with both macro lenses under flourecsent light, ISO 1600. The Canon lens produced a slightly orange tinted image (large, fine) with no white balance corrections applied (AWB engaged). The Leica R lens, produced white whites with no tint. All body settings were identical for both lenses. Finally, I tried to compare sharpness of both images. I did this by magnifying sections of both images via the viewer LCD on the back of the 20D. I think you can get a 10x magnification this way. Not super critical, but I still found the R lens somewhat sharper. One of the circuit components I was shooting (which is about 0.2" x 0.3") has ID numbers laser etched on one side. Blowing these up to the maximum magnification showed the Leica to be sharper, cleaner, with better contrast. And remember, this is the manually focussed image being compared to the auto-focussed Canon image. These tests clarified a number of things for me. Comments I received in an earlier post about R lenses being impossible to focus on the 20D were incorrect. My faith in R optics is restored, and feedback I have read about superior Canon optics (particularly telephoto lenses) is not the case for the 100 mm Macros.
One could certainly make a good argument that macro focus should be done manually, regardless of the system used. But why be defensive about Leica R glass? It is exceptional---if you can live with the exorbitant prices, considerable heft and bodies that have limited appeal. As for Canon glass, Canon's best glass is long telephoto, and this has been the case for many years.
For a 100mm lens to focus to 1:1, it needs to be extended an additional 100 mm from the film plane. This causes the 2 stop reduction in F/speed. If Leica lens does not extend this way, how does it achieve the 1:1 reproduction ratio? Or does its aperture get wider by two stops or focal length shorter to compensate? This is simple physics, nothing to do with relative merits of optical design in Germany or Japan.
Wow! The Leica lens cures Canon white balance problems just by being near the camera. I can hardly believe it. Bet you're pretty pissed you wasted your money on the Canon junk. I hear the Leica 100/2.8 APO Macro makes the old 100/4 Elmar macro look pretty sad, so compared to it the Canon must be a doorstop. As for "how does it achive a 1:1 ratio", as far as I know it doesn't. I think the best it can do is 1:3.
It would be interesting to see how the EF-S 60mm fared in the mix. I haven't tried one myself, but my friends who use them speak very highly of them. The MTF chart looks noticeably better than that of the 100, but of course, MTF isn't everything. steve
The 100mm Apo-Macro Elmarit-R f/2.8 focuses down to a 1:2 repro. ratio. It achieves 1:1 by adding the Elpro 1:2-1:1 near focusing attachment. At 1:1, there is a free working distance of 7.2 cm. It actually gets to 1.1:1, giving an object field of 22x33 mm.
What a joke. All lenses lose speed when focused close. If you don't understand why then you really don't have any business this sort of nonsense. If you didn't see it with the Leica "macro" it's because you aren't very observant, and it's not really a macro because it doesn't really focus that close. Put an extension tube on it to bring it to 1:1 and the laws of physics dictate that it will lose two stops. But being a Leica owner, you're going to see what you want to see. That's how people get to be Leica owners in the first place. The only thing that's possibly more hilarious is the white balance drivel. I don't even want to get started on that.
"My faith... is restored..." If it's faith, why bother testing it? If it's science, why such a shoddy test?
"And remember, this is the manually focussed image being compared to the auto-focussed Canon image." Who said that you use AF in macro? Read a book and learn why you shouldn't use AF. "This makes this lens effectively f5.6 at near focus points. The Leica R lens, of course, does no such thing. F4 at infinity, f4 at the close focus endpoint, and R lens is now faster for macro work than the Canon. " Maybe you should compare both at 1:3 which is the max the Leica can do. Is the Canon then slower? Praise the lord, R optics are good.
I seem to recall that the Nikkor 1:2.8 105mm AF Micro functions somewhat as a zoomlens, which rearranges internal elements and loses a bit of focal length rather than by extension losing speed. The Leica 1:2.8 100mm APO Macro as I recall requires the purchase of a quite dear auxiliary diopter to reach life-size reproduction scale, which attaches to the front of the lens and thus has no effect on speed. I can understand why someone who specifically reserves the lens for static macro subjects might prefer the adapted Leica lens on Canon body, however if the lens is used for moving subjects such as insects then I would imagine the continual running of the aperture to and fro manually between wide-open (for focussing) and perhaps f/16 or f/22 (for depth)would become rather tedious in short order.
I seem to recall that the Nikkor 1:2.8 105mm AF Micro functions somewhat as a zoomlens, which rearranges internal elements and loses a bit of focal length rather than by extension losing speed. Many do. However, it's a relatively small amount that reduces but doesn't nearly eliminate the light loss effect. And if the Canon managed to shorten its focal length all the way down to 25mm in order to remain at a constant effective aperture, I guess that would be something to complain about as well. You can put diopters on Canon lenses too, as far as I know!
FWIW the Leica 100-APO-Macro also slightly changes focal length as you focus closer. From memory I think it's only 100mm at infinity and 90mm lens at min. focus.
When you extend a lens away from the film to focus closer you change the angle of view. It becomes narrower. If you shorten the focal length as you focus closer you gain the close focus while preserving the same angular coverage. A standard 100mm macro at 1:1 has the angular coverage of a 200mm lens at infinity. The variable focal length lenses keep pretty close to the same angle throughout the range.
In response: The Canon lens cost me about the same as the Leica lens. Of course the Leica was used, but in mint condition. So I do not consider the Leica exorbitantly priced. I stand corrected on the speed loss. I went back and measured the speed loss of both lenses at the 1:3 magnification (which is the limit for the Leica), and both lenses loose 1 stop. I don't consider the Canon lens to be "junk". Its just not quite as sharp as the Leica. K. Mendenhall-- Ever hear of a colloquialism? Perhaps I should have said "My confidence was restored..." Not every test has be carried out in an optics lab. If the lenses were so close in performance, I should not have seen any difference in the images. Same is true if the test was not capable in resolving any difference. The images were taken back to back and compared with the LCD viewer (10x magnified) on the camera. I admit its not a critical test, but it should not produce a bias toward the Leica lens either. P. Voudouris -- Maybe you should read the manual that came with the Canon lens: Closeup Photography [Framing Priority] "While looking through the viewfinder and framing the subject, focus with the AF or MF mode" Where in the Canon literature does it say that there is a close focus limit to AF? The impression I got from previous posts below was that the only way to effectively focus with the Canon 20D was in using the autofocus, and that there was inherent advantage in using AF Canon lenses with this body as opposed to manually focussed R lenses. Now your saying this is not true for Macro work?
Wow - a guy makes a contribution and gets his head chopped. And from the Canon folks no less. I have Canon - I like it. I have Leica and I like it too. It's really quite simple - Leica glass beats Canon glass. Always did- always will.

For plenty of thrills and spills on the water, discover the brilliance of incredible white water rafting and kayaking experiences from Red Letter Days. Our gift experiences really are the most fun you can have in the water! White water rafting allows thrill seekers to experience breathtaking twists, turns and drops on a natural or purpose-built course in groups of between six and eight people, guaranteed to provide an unforgettable adventure. Alternatively, for another water-based pursuit, why not take to the waters in a kayak? Glide through the water in a one-person kayak for a fun day out - just don't be afraid of getting wet!
