Oh my f#cking.. god bless america. This is insane. Luckily it's not that far here in Finland, yet. If you make photos in shopping malls it will most probably get into this as well.

Really p#sses off to read such experiences. Best to you Marc, don't quit!

Are there any who use these methods as primary when walking around and

taking photos? Sure it's damn fast way and you probably won't miss the

decisive moment, but how accurate are results?

I got thinking about this because I got one Minolta SLR from 60s to my

hands and meter's battery have run out. So I've now tried these, still

waiting to see the results (1st film in) but wrote to hear other's

experiences.

Btw, on SLR series I think that's quite nice Minolta (SR-7), body

feels robust and there's 55/1.7 glass in front of it. And it works

without batteries which is plus if this 16+zone starts to rock ;)<div></div>

Umm, does anyone have photos or galleries about competitive cycling?

Track, road, triathlon..?<br><br>

One of my own here. Markus Holmsten, winner of mens kilo time trial in

Finnish nationals last summer.<br><br>

Excellent stories with excellent pics. Keep doing that.

By the way & off topic, what's the story behind those great tones of b&w's?

brgds.

Umh, if I am totally late with this and it has already been

discussed, please forgive.

Any expriences about this new apo-asph-summicron 75? How does it

perform? How's the bokeh? How about compared to 75lux, 50asph and

apo-asph 90 cron?

Geezzh..

Hi,

Anyone any idea what gear this NG-photographer is using? In latest NG

he states to be 'man of one camera and one lens', and has Leica

hanging around his neck. Also some words about simplicity, not latest

technical gizmos. Had also this (?) Leica in hands few magazines

earlier when there was article about Vietnam.

From time to time I've read that M lenses beat R lenses in this and

that category, being better, sharper, etc.

Is this true? All hassle about Leica myth and -stuff is around M

ones. But how does for example latest R-summicron 50 perform? Against

M-one? Or 35mm's?

I'm not intrested about SLR vs rangefinder thing, just lenses and

images they produce.

Best regards.

OK, a bit unscientific test because of handhelding etc, but imho it

does show some nice details. 5400dpi should give more info about lens'

resolving power, but no can do...

What do you like? Going to do some more of these in few days, with

50mm's.

It's T70 body, breech lock 135/2.5 @f4, Fuji Astia 100F, 1/1000s

shutter and Minolta Dual Scan 3 @2800dpi.<br>

Oh yes, it was exactly that. Thanks for others also!

But the 50...

Hi,

While ago I found a thread where Leica's 35mm's were compared to each

others with three test shots. Two shots about camera wall (Mamiya in

enlargement) and one about christmas lights. Different aperture

settings, enlargements from center and corner. There were 35lux asph,

35cron asph and 35lux 4th gen. OK, that's just to make you remember,

I couldn't found it anymore.

Later replies were asking about same kind of comparison with 50mm

lenses, and that's what I'm asking here also (maybe other 50mm's

also?). There has been lots and lots of yaa-yaa-yaa talk and post

about 50lux, 50cron and new 50lux asph. But I haven't seen any single

similar test. It might be that no one does have 50lux asph in his

pocket yet, but you guys have those others. I don't, and now I'm

asking someone to make such a test, or point me a link to one already

made.

I know all 50mm's are capable to make good pics, and yes it's about

photographer not about the gear.

Bad idea?

BR, Juha

Jamie,

I've been looking that kind of solution for my slr for a while. That's not so easy to look while looking through camera ;-)
