..specially like this, the silent mood-mixture between Venice and Paris, but I guess it is Amsterdam?
Studying the Rembrandt's etchings? Wow, no matter how good a painter he was, I most certainly prefer his etchings.....unfortunatly I have only been in Nederland's once when I was 19 (and that is some days ago..) and instead of walking streets and channels I was studying the original etchings of Rembrandt, and was by accident invited for Christmas too(Santa Claus)...yes it looks very special with these affairs/stocks by the channels, there is also somehow some old London "working-class"-quarter-mood in it ...

Yes they are rather special, sort of more free. Sat down in a study-room at the Rijksmuseum a whole week. 10 tables I think, with a strickt lady sitting at her desk with front at me, and all his original etchings was brought to me at a rolling table.Studying the Rembrandt's etchings?

.. delicate, John.
Maggie, I know! Intimidating and inspiring all at once.What a fantastic run of posts and photos!!! WOW!!!!
Thanks John. I had a GXR at one point, but stepped up to the M240. Really impressed with the ricoh line and this GR is ticking all the boxes for a compact camera. Trying to get used to snap focus and remembering all the settings I programmed in! I have my1 setup for street with snap focus and f/8, my2 setup for the 47mm crop and my3 for 35mm. And I haven't noticed any degradation with the crop modes. It's my compact MATE!
I personally dislike the TAv mode, because the ISO strangely goes up very high. I use my GR like I used my film GR1, only in aperture priority. And for photographing in the dark I set the ISO at 3200 maximum.One feature I really enjoy is AE Lock/Hold. I set aperture and shutter using TAv, then point at a middle gray area and press AE Lock, which basically locks ISO. I then leave exposure alone until the light changes. Works great for street shooting.
People talk about the camera getting out of the way. No camera I've owned does that better than the GR.

John, just because I need the spelling: does this mean that it lock the exposures at all the following shots until you press the AE Lock once more?
