Please email me a JPEG, or postcard, of the last image with RR, the Betamax and intercom.

There's something oddly familiar about the image.

Thanks

Greetings from LA

Ian - I like the idea of both of your series -- you might want to take a look at the work of

Ernest Hass or Atget, to see how they used every day urban items to tell a story.

Thanks

Folks

I own an Arsat 30mm from my Kiev 6 days - if I mount it on my Nikon D80, any idea what lens size that

translates as?

Will it still retain any "fisheye-ness?"

Thanks

Greetings from LA

Here are two examples of what a Widelux can do - the streetside musician is a scene from

downtown LA.

The second image is from Mexico City, in the Centro Historico.

Folks

Will be visiting Old Lamu next month, yipee.

Plan on shooting digital - Leica C-Lux, Nikon D80 - but would love to shoot film through the Widelux.

If they have mini-labs, I can shoot film and get it processed there, Otherwise, take my chances with the X

ray dance at airports.

Comments?

Thanks

I own the Arsat version - great lens, be careful with glare, though.

Attached is a photo from my "Signs of LA," series - the middle image was shot with the Arsat.

Here's a sample of the in-the-box 18 - 55 zoom.

Avoid the more well-known landmarks, go for the areas near Bastille and Republique or

the suburbs so you can get out of the tourism bubble.

Take the 35 or wider, have it pre-focused, you'll either shoot full auto or single shot.

Ditch the camera bag, fanny pack, etc., keep the body discretly under your jacket and try

to blend in.

Have yourself a Ricard for me at any tabac!

Here's the second LA Marathon photo...

What amazes me is that this person took the time to complain, but not post a rebuttal photo.

Mmm, notice how the REDS came out stronger with the CCCP-'flex?

Thanks,
