Mixed Martial Arts and M8

My wife wanted to try the rangefinder and I gave her my M8 with Zeiss 35/2 to shoot at a local Martial Arts school summer fight event. This is the result:

She figured out the manual focus quite fast. 🙂

pretty good!

Very cool!

Definitely difficult but very possible.

nice! Time to get her a Noctilux!

Gotta be honest, from an action perspective the timing was a bit off, the pole is distracting and you've cropped out too much of the opponent. Exposure and colors are pretty much dead on. I don't mean to be critical, just offering my feedback if you'd like it.

But in all fairness it's no easy task shooting action with a rangefinder, so keep up the effort.

Yes, I agree on the pole and the cropping... but not on the timing.. I like the fact that the kick is just on it's way. 🙂 Thanks for the feedback.
