Big plus ONE!! Amazing!Kurt, this is magnificent...truly spectacular. I see that you are enjoying this new tool! I wish I could muster up the courage (i.e. the funds) to get this, but I can't afford to do so, and am fully invested in the M system.
But like my pre-Noct f/0.95 days, I'll live vicariously through you!
I bet this one would look great printed large. It has feel to it that draws you into the photo.Here is one with the 180mm Summarit-S, a very nice lens.
Awesome shot, ceh. Between this and the tennis pictures earlier in the thread, I can see how versatile the S2 can be!Panning,

Beautiful feeling to that scene, Kurt. I especially like the color version. I've really been enjoying the thread so far and can relate to your comment about shallow DOF comfort zone.Here is one with the 180mm Summarit-S, a very nice lens.
Kurt,Peter, good question. I thought that I'd just throw in a black and white. I prefer the color, which I've attached.

Hi Kurt,Thanks Mark, Jono and Lloyd.
Ashwin, you are very kind. So far I'm very happy that I've stepped away from the M9 and rangefinder photography for awhile. I really needed to get away from my shallow depth of field comfort zone to be able to try to grow as a photographer. I felt that I was becoming much too one dimensional in how I viewed image making. Did you know that there are apertures beyond f0.95? Who'd have thunk it? I actually took a shot at f16 yesterday.

+1Kurt,
Truly lovely image, that in my opinion really works best in color. My reasoning is the color shows the last vestiges of life this time of year, while the decaying crops and barren trees emphasize their passing/hibernation for the given season. The dichotomy between the two in a hauntingly stark but striking images truly works.

Just visited your site-some great images there! I like the one from the guy smoking the cigarette a lot.Wayan Roma - Balinese Salt Farmer.
Some more pictures are on my blog. It is nice to be able to be near water and feel perfectly comfortable having the S2.
Wishing everyone a Very Happy New Year! Looking forward to the many possibilities it will bring.
Best regards,
Arif
