Ian,
You have some wonderful shots here, cracking close ups and great composition. That RD-1 is a very good camera in your hands.

Thanks a lot guys for your words, however I am very much interested in knowing what I am doing wrong, to try to improve.

Very nice images, but a little *too* sharp

May have overdone it a bit with Photoshop, expecially the Aaron Barschak one.

Great candid portraits! I must ask though, which lens did you use for these shots?

Summilux 75, at f2.0 for the first three, at f1.4 for the other two.
The camera is an Epson RD-1.

How do you manage to "view" and focus the Summilux 75 on the RD-1? It sounds pretty difficult but you managed to produce some great shots. Not always so easy in the crowds at Speakers Corner!

Well focusing is a bit of hit and miss expecially if the subject doesn't stand still
I'd say that about 40-50% of the shots I took at the speaker corner with the 75 lux wide open have acceptable focus.

I wonder if fgianni does what I do, which is to forget the accessory viewfinder. I just use the center part of the 50mm framelines and keep the focus patch on the subject. Framing comes later in photoshop. After all you don't want to miss the subject or have a focus problem.
I can get around 50% this way even with my Nikon 85mm f2.0 @ f4 or so. Of course @ f2.0 the success rate is lower, but digital "film" is cheap.
