Nice sunny day for a snooze in Venice.<div></div>

A sad day, but he had a good life

Rolfe, thanks. I really was blown away by how good the lens is.

I agree with everything everybody has said. It is kind of a pain, but it does work, and works well. And I knew someone would ask again about the 0-Series and I'd get a chance to repost these:

Did the stuffed animal get mad at you?

The first one; the direction of the hands draws you into the scene and keeps you there. Lovely.

I was just in Venice, Florence and Milan and had no problems on any front (well, I had trouble finding my train seats, but that's another story). Sorry, this is a photo repost, but I wanted to follow up on the laundry theme.<div></div>

I missed the window light W/NW thread a while back, so I thought I

would start another one ...<div></div>

38. Owned Nikons since high school, mostly shooting with an FM-2 and a 28mm. Sold several old Nikons to acquire an 0-Series in 2001, so I don't know if you count me or not. Still got some Nikon stuff for times when I want to look through an actual viewfinder and focus and stuff.

If you don't mind C-41, try the new Kodak B&W CN400. It seems to have tremendous latitude; I accidentally shot a few frames that should have been terribly overexposed and they came out from a machine print looking great. If you're printing it yourself then it may not be as much fun, as it apparently requires very high filtration to print to black and white paper.

This is a blatant reposting of this picture from another recent W/NW

thread, but I thought it might draw out some interesting candle

pictures, particularly from out Noctilux users.<div></div>

The flash on mine crapped out a couple of years ago. I don't use the camera much anymore, but in general it's fine. I used to have an N8008s and sold it and kept the N70 because the N70 is MUCH quieter. Also, it meters with AI/AIS lenses, which is a big plus in my book, although even the smaller ones are heavy enough to feel unbalanced on the camera, which is quite light. The interface is not a problem for me.

Saw the revamped version of the original "Godzilla" yesterday (the original Japanese film, minus Raymond Burr, who had been crudely added in for the American version). The first time Godzilla appears, a scientist shoots him with a Leica screwmount of some kind.

Great theme! Hope to see more colors from India

And, again last but not least, my favorite shot of the entire trip.

Guess focused, guess exposed.<div></div>

Man with statue, in the Berea section of Milan.<div></div>

The tower was cool, but I liked this place, too.<div></div>

Boaters on the Arno at sunset, from the Ponte Vecchio.<div></div>

A protest. Anti-war, I believe.<div></div>

On to Florence (with a quick side trip to Pisa to see

you-know-what, then finishing in Milan.<div></div>

Last but not least, my favorite one of this batch. This was a

from-the-hip grab shot.<div></div>

Needed the rangefinder for this one ...<div></div>

People walking in Piazza San Marco, framed through a railing on

the cathedral ...<div></div>

Statues looming above the Piazza San Marco, and clouds

looming above them.<div></div>

A tourist gondolier greets a taxi gondolier; couldn't resist.<div></div>
