Re: Fun time / M8 images
Oh there you are , I thought you wanted us to see you were a dentist.
Just looking up at my wife above and just realized were my would be MF digital system is sitting. Hmmm might have to rob her.
Of course Steve immediately pointed that out with a PM. damn layers they have all the angles. LOL

,
I saw that, but (stupidly) assumed it was somebody working behind the glass in the booth...rotflmao, Guy - I'm not black - the M8 has a new issue: it depicts dentists in the wrong colour
No- look in the reflection over the booth.

Re: Fun time / M8 images
Out of curiousity, was this cropped, and how close were you? I am trading my 90 Macro for a 90 AA and I am wondering exactly what I am setting myself up for.

Re: Fun time / M8 images
Sure, but that's you I have used my 90 macro so little, mostly due to the f/4 combined with longer focal length, so maybe it will be the same for me. I guess I am very much a tripod-less, available light lover, but I didn't realise to what extent when I bought the macro lens kit. They cost almost the same, so I simply should have bought the 90AA from day one. Oh well, live and learn. I have found someone interested in trading a 90AA in perfect condition for the kit. Sadly there is no packaging there, just lens and covers, but that is good enough I suppose. The 90 macro does have outstanding bo-ke (my new favorite spelling of that term, more accurately reflecting the diphthong-less nature of Japanese), but that doesn't compensate fully for my style of shooting. My main concern with the 90AA is whether it can focus close enough for my taste, giving a large enough magnification, hence my question above.

Carsten: The image is not cropped, just resized for the web. I was just about at the minimum focus distance (1 meter).
Jack: The Arnold Arboretum is owned and run by Harvard University, and it's located in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston.

Checking out at David's. Hip shooting with the M8 and CV 21/5.6 and trying to look like Tri-X

Re: Fun time / M8 images
IMO and FWIW only,
Well it is me, but that was exactly my situation with the macro --- loved the size, loved the closer focus ability, but hated the f4 aperture and in the end never used because of that. I will add that while I still don't use the 90 focal a lot, I use my 90AA more often than I did the macro. And when I do use the 90AA, I am usually shooting it wide or f2.8 specifically to isolate the background...Sure, but that's you
IMO and FWIW only,
Re: Fun time / M8 images
Thanks for that info --- I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Boston.
Re: Fun time / M8 images
John:
I think the shot works, but would like to see more shadow detail and more contrast --- maybe bump the exposure in the raw to let the windows blow, but at the same time pull up the shadows?
Here is my two-minute rework of your jpeg above, and obviously working the raw would be a lot better, but what do you think of the effect?

Re: Fun time / M8 images
much nicer, I'm alway worried about blowing highlights. I'll go back and play some more with it.
Thanks for the suggestion...
