Deceased, but remembered fondly here...
Which one John?
sorry this one



We've had some tabby-siamese mixes but nothing with such a strong break between the tabby gray stripping and siamese brown and with such blue eyes. Should see if you could get this pattern to breed true.

Hi John, he is feral so it would be a difficult proposition at best. He is very nervous of humans. He was hit by a car that killed his brother and later hit by another car. Both times I couldn't catch him to get him treatment. Thankfully he has healed without so much as a limp.

Simon, that is a fantastic photograph. Love the interplay between the underwater reeds and the shadows.

Here are a few shots from my step son's wedding. Made me happy I wasn't the photographer. What pressure. I was using the FL36R Oly flash. Mostly used it as a bounce flash. I still need to learn a lot more about using it.

Competition at the thistle feeder today. G1 with 45-200.
Carl, that jumped out at me. I honestly hadn't been considering the 45-200 zoom--I don't shoot a lot over 90mm (my 70-200 always goes, rarely gets used). Is it as sharp as it looks at the focus point? Or--will it sharpen up nicely? I've seen several quite nice shots with this lens but of course they are web sized--even if larger so its hard to get a handle on it--I do realize its considered 'consumer grade' but so is the kit lens and its very nice. None of the RAWs I downloaded were with this lens--all with the kit so I don't have any experience with seeing them at 100% or even printed (where it makes a difference to me).

My other thought is--I never use a tele--maybe--because its big and maybe not quite as long as I need at times. Perhaps with a small light camera and lens I might actually change my shooting LOL.

Diane, My copy of the 45-200 is very sharp. You can see some larger images (50%) taken with this lens on my pbase site
The 45-200 is quite compact and not that much larger than the 14-45 kit lens. Either lens (or both with a small bag) is easy to carry around. OIS works very well and is a big plus when shooting handheld at the longer focal lengths.

Regards,
Carl

I must admit that the G1 appears to be a very competent image maker. I love the color rendition and the sharpness from the kit lens is very unusual for such a low cost item.

Have you tried printing the files yet and if so what is the largest you have done and how did things hold up?

Thanks

Woody, Yes, I have made several prints in the 16x20 to 18x24 inch size range using a Canon iPF 6100. Image quality and sharpness holds up as well as my M8 images do at comparable print sizes. I'm also amazed at the high performance level of the kit lenses and wonder if Leica was in some way involved in their development.

Regards,
Carl
