Jono, I have not decided on the A7r2. That astounding high ISO camera rumor did catch my attention.

Exactly how many stops improvement is that?Of course, the 816,000 noiseless ISO is a bit of a gamechanger
correct Me if I'm wrong but I think it's 7 stopsExactly how many stops improvement is that?

I guess 'Mike' would be to......plainI tried to trip him up by asking in a private email what the code name for the new beast would be. He didn't bite on that, either. But his travel plans clearly indicate concealing new super photo-powers, or maybe are just life as usual.
Anyway, here are my choices for the next M code name:
Josef (Koudelka, of course)
Andre (Kertesz)
Robert (Capa or Frank)
Although Bayesian probability gives Robert two chances to the one chance for each of the other names, I think it will be Josef. Anyone care to contribute other contenders, or vote on these?

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with anything associated with 'brick' when it comes to Leica software......In line with the rumors, "Stanley" (Kubrick).

I'm not sure whether he used Leica (I think so) but his stills photography from the 40s is nothing short of glorious http://twistedsifter.com/2011/12/stanley-kubricks-new-york-photos-1940s/Stanley is a cool name, but Stanley Kubrick is not particularly associated with Leica. In fact the lenses that he used for shooting Barry Lyndon by candlelight were Zeiss, I believe. Michael Cimino shot large parts of Heavens Gate in "golden light," like classic landscape photographers, so maybe "Mike" is not so far off.

Thanks, lovely photos: the first is plainly with a rangefinder, but the rest seem to be square, with rebate showing, suggesting a TLR? (the Johnny on the Spot picture would have been awkward with a waist-level finder).I'm not sure whether he used Leica (I think so) but his stills photography from the 40s is nothing short of glorious http://twistedsifter.com/2011/12/stanley-kubricks-new-york-photos-1940s/
Oh my ....He's in the Eastern Sierras emulating Ansel Adams or was he at the Ghost Ranch the other day. I think I spotted him there. He didn't want to talk and there was no internet anyway.
