Alex, that is your best picture of the ones that I have seen. If you can continue to do this

level of B&W you should forget about colour.

level of B&W you should forget about your M8.

Thanks Mitch and Clive! But forget color and my M8 (sniff). The shot was made with a Bessa R3A + Nikkor 2000 50/1.4 on a Nikon S to Leica adapter.

 

And James, what is the story behind that?!

[Alex_Es]

Heh...<p></p>

Alex, I was just trying to get an interesting pic of the stair railing... I love your last one!

[mikal_grass]

Mike Dixon and Mitch Alland,

 

The girls you guys photograph seem to be getting younger and younger as you guys get

older and older.

Alex, Clive is right. :) Why are you wasting your time with the..?

 

Very nice shots.

[clive1]

Alex, both of these shots are wonderful. "There's no accounting for taste," but this is candid photography at its best as far as I'm concerned. Loneliness/sadness/nostalgia/homesickness/traveling into the unknown, the pictures raise many questions in the viewer's mind (she was probably just another office lady on her way to work...). Did you know the woman? <P>The second one looks almost hand-coloured (a technique I'm starting to get into). Obviously NOT from your M8 (thus my suggestion, which I know you'll ignore). Will we be seeing a spike in Bessa sales for March, 2008? You'd do well to take more of these shots and less of the others. My 2 yen's worth.

Alex, no comparison: the first one, in my view, is much better than the second (colour)

one, in which the blown out circles are quite distracting. Again, seriously, I think it makes

sense to narrow your range: stick with B&W and with the Bessa/Nikkor 50/f1.4 and let the

M8 gather dust or just sell it. If I were you that is what I would do and never look back.

Again, there is no comparison in terms of quality of this B&W photographs and what

you've been doing with the M8: the M8 has better "image quality", but that is totally

irrelevant if you can keep making pictures of the quality of the B&W one above. Yes,

absolutely, you have to get out from under the yoke of the M8.
