I still say the Bessa R3M is a damn nice camera

Yep! It is already clouding over - good for lower contrast anyway - and I wanted to shoot 4-5 rolls @ f1.1 anyway.

Tom, We have sun predicted for the weekend...but it is sort of nice to have a cool day today. I like your pics! Are you a 40/90 man most of the time?

Not taken the wrong way. Of course it is all about the photo's. But I thought we have a tendency to focus on Leica's, ZI's (which I own, too.) etc. So I thought I would remind us all (myself include) that once again it is not the box, not even the lens, it is more about getting off my ass and shooting. Thanks to all for the feedback.

Got it!
Now that I am clearer on your intention, I am more impressed :)

I just came back from a 5-day travel, I brought the Hasselblad and a no-name old TLR that most of you won't even recognize. Guess what, I shoot one roll with the Hassy, and four with the TLR, just because it's so darn light and convenient.

The fact that I actually use the camera is much more important than which ones I choose.
 
Akiva, both shots are fantastic! Besides the beautiful and moving moments you captured, really splendid exposition and development! That's as good as it gets! I imagine on fiber paper they must look clear and so rich...

Thanks for sharing them!

Most of the time I am wide angle, 15/18/21 with a 35/40 and the 50 as my "long" lens. I have a lot of lenses and though some are more or less permanently on cameras - I cycle trough them all.
At the moment I am on "fast" lens kick - the 50f1.1. I know its good in the "dark" but I also wanted to find out if it could hold its own in bright light (and it can).
