Well-known
Well, my stuff arrived this morning, so I cycled home from work through the snow/rain to check it out.
I got the 40mm Nokton and the 28mm Ultron.
First impressions - this camera grows on you, and I'm only talking about 1 day! It's brought up a lot of forgotten skills - I'm having to re-learn to focus and expose, after using EOS stuff.
There's one obvious hot pixel, which I'm not sure if I should complain about... otherwise it works a treat. I'm just printing a 12x8 matt of the living room, b/w at 800 ISO, f2.8 on the Nokton, and it looks great.
Apart from that, it's very hard not to fall in love with this camera (being a digital and b/w addict) and, since it's so transparent to use, to fall in love with photography again.
It's a great camera to carry around, after the EOS experience, you forget it's there till you need it - apologies to all you Leica people for rambling on!
