Thanks!
.. as befits your age, m'boy....Ok, that means I have to load up the Baldix next and do some 6x6 street shooting.I promise you, it will go slowly. ;-)

Thanks Thorkil
I mostly shoot raw and just do the usual Lightroom workflow following their slider set up. This A16 zoom sensor without AA filter is very good, and I guess the zoom lens also holds up well - I use it a lot.
I do many similar things to Michiel. He needs this zoom, else one day his 98th facade will be his last. I've heard lots about that crazy traffic over there.

..yes, he got to be careful, Keith, and I think it's a really good advice! But perhaps he’s in the middle of betraying this thread, with a DP1Merrill(but better this than the DP2-one, while he would end in the midle of the streets), sneaking around in Quentin’s thread. But for my part he’s forgiving…Thorkil

My wife rather have me killed in the streets for not having that zoom then let me buy it after I ordered that Sigma DPm2. :deadhorse:
I still managed to get over the 100th facade alive.

Yesterday I took a trip to the Photokina. What a crowd and huge display of gear
Touched the Leica M with handgrip. Feels nice and rather big, but you will need it once you put on those Leica R lenses. It was not a booth anymore but a whole hall for themselves included a real good exhibition of great photographers.
The Hasselblad booth was all over that new Lunar, which is even a bigger joke in reality. They come in countless versions. It is all about a sort of almost folkloristic craftsmenship in which they put the latests electronics. It is a big mistake, I think. The whole booth was for a great deal in the light of their grand history, besides their great prof cameras.
In contradiction to those big players was the small booth of Voigtländer but to my surprise they showed the new (to me) 21mm 1.8 Ultron in M mount. Very well made lens. Could be a good alternative for a fast 21
It is rather big and it has an integrated hood. In line with their non consistant hood politics. At least you don't have to pay extra for a seperate hood.
I screwed it on my RIcoh GXR and took a few shots.
The affiche shot is not sharp and was my hectic attempt to check the distortion.
The last picture is from the even smaller SLRMagic booth. Very nice people and they let me try the SLR Magic Hyperprime 50/0.95. Almost to well aperture damping (no clicks) for videographers. Feels very solid but it is a lens you have to spend more time with to get good shots.
Also tryed the new 35/1.4 on their NEX. Could be a good alternative pricewise.
Samsung booth was huge as well. You can see they are doing well companywise, breakdancers and models - BTW lots of booths with models - all day to shoot.

thanks Michiel for the report and pictures. I do understand the expression on the face of the sitting man on the second-last picture!
What about Ricoh? No full-frame M-mount? or 16Mp M-mount? or a GRDV(that I would like to have), no nothing?
Well, all that gear, perhaps the vision of One camera for at least One Year isn't that bad at all...

No nothing new at Ricoh's. Lot of Pentax and very little Ricoh in the booth. A guy besides me was really interested in th GXR but the guy, although not busy, was very unpleasant. So I told him with my GXR at hand how good it was.
BTW I like the first action shot somehow with VC guy looking at me while the man with the sunglasses trys to concentate on the paper with his finger.

Yes, thats also a very good, humoristic and energy-filled picture, and the older guy is obviously very annoyed about the undiciplined unconcentration your picture-making create..

Hello Michiel,
Yes, that's true. But the price in the US runs $800 for the A16 & body, and $900 for the A12 & body new. The iPad was $829. So I think my offer is fair, and in past trades I've found one has to sweeten the pot from time to time thus the additional cash offer.
Thank you for the info and for you interest.
Regards,
John
