No, of course not! It does however affect how the photo looks (the very point!). I think many of us would enjoy seeing some non flash photos to see how you use the lens and how it renders...

Bonjour (it's 9a.m; over here).Damaso I've undertood your message . I'll try to post some more pics later . Let me have some time . Since years I've been fond of SLR's (D3X is the last one) but now , these gears are too heavy for an old man . Focusing and framing are not so easy with RF Cameras . Regards to all .

Yeah, I use a 92' f2/50 Cron on my M8 and I really like it, Cron's are the overalll "use it now" Leica Lens, from vintage cars shows, snapshots and seriously planned retro pinup shoots, the post 1990 Cron is an amazing lens.

Now I just need a cheap Flash unit that will work on it so I can reproduce that cheap trashy black and white 1950's/60's mens magazine look for my pinups.
