Nice shots from past few pages everyone, Charles (excellent B&W & surfer pics), Matt (24/1.4 put to good use in crowded NYC), Jason (love the rendering on the older Crons), ceh (masterclass in street composition and S2 envy!), sig (congrats on your new lens, love that X'mas tree), Steve (great shots from the hood), Dan (very nice 35/1.2 portrait shots!) and all the rest of you! Sorry if I missed a few names, having a hard time catching up with you all!

Also, thanks all for your comments to my earlier post.

Sadly, I will be without my M9 for at least 2 weeks. The camera suddenly died on me yesterday and I had to send it back to Leica NJ today :( Hopefully it comes back soon.

I'll post a few older pics till the M9 returns.

Joe :)

This really has been an impressive series. Good stuff. As for these specific images, I really like the first two in the b/w version, but now that I see them in color, I'm doubly impressed. Really impressed. :bugeyes: I like them much better. And the subtlety of the light in the second one is incredible.

Boymerang, great series of shots! Beautiful rendering just adds to the atmosphere. :)

Matt, great shots in amazing colours! I don't know why we so often post in B&W, when colour versions add so much more :)

Ceh: Beautiful fall color. I like the framing with the trunk at left and the leading lines in this first one. :D

Well, I figure there's not better way to figure out this M8 and 40 1.4 than to go out and use it on a job. Yep, lens showed up Friday, went out and used it Saturday morning.

I shot an event for a local charity's holiday party at Dave and Buster's which is an arcade restaurant. I had my usual kit (D3, D700, 70-200, 28-70) but also had my new to me M8 and 40 1.4. JUST WOW! ISO 1250 looked better than ISO 4000 on my D3 with the same light. Now the M8 shots... It was DARK in there as you can see from the second pic. All of these were available light, or lack there of ;-)



PS- Sorry about the size! Forgot to resize these!

Jason: Awesome! Now you see the light. :thumbup:

Nice image, as is the one of the school kids.

Wow, the stuff that's appeared in this new thread is just spectacular. Big applause to everyone, as Charles Foster Kane demonstrates above.

I'm still going through the almost 1200 images I took in Israel. Here are three of the latest, from the town of Tzfat (also sometimes spelled Sefod or Zefod or similar). The old town in Tzfat looks much like it did in the 1500s, when Rabbi Joseph Caro wrote the "Shulchan Aruch" (a major compilation of Jewish Law and commentary) there. It still hosts a prominent Orthodox Jewish community, an artists colony, and is a center for the study of Kaballah (Jewish mysticism).

This is Alon, who is a painter and photographer. He knew what a Leica was, and even asked to take a picture of me with it after I photographed him:



This is Yaakov, who is originally from France. He, like Alon, recognized my Leica. He told me about the photo to the right of his head, where he went into the desert, took a photo of himself with a self-timer, and then used some pretty modern digital techniques to get the B&W effect he wanted.



And this gentleman was making pan bread for the lunch crowd.

Enjoy!
