Meanwhile they dine on gravlaks in Tokyo...

I have no reservations about trying for handheld shots in the range of 1/10. Motion blur of the subject is more often a problem than focus is due to long exposure.

This is a wonderful camera for ambient light situations.

We say that when the Japanese get the taste for 'rakfisk' - specially preserved Norwegian Mountain Trout, Norway is not big enough. - So let the Japanese eat gravlaks! We eat Zukiaki and Sushi!

Well: We are going for Indian food tonight.

Quite a few here get euphoric about their Noctilux'es here. But what about Summicron 35 mm 2,0? That's one of the very best lenses in my arsenal, - I have a few. I want to be burried with that one (and the Hasselblad SWC905 - Carl Zeiss Biogon 38 mm 4,5).

The sunrise of Kuala Lumpur inspired me to show you a picture of a beach at Tioman Island, Malaysia. Canon 1Ds II, 24-70mm 2,8L - 400/1 - aparture 10. Tioman Island; a very unique and beautiful place.

This is a lovely scene but the levels need adjusting, i brought up the whites and it looks 100% better. Give it a try!
 
Gabriel M.A., those images supposedly taken with the pre-asph summilux must have been taken with a newer, shaper lens of more modern design. ;)
I sure like skin with that lens wide open.

Thanks, Mike. Yeah, that Summilux is "clearly challenged by modern standards". Give them all to me! (The Summilux(ae), not the standards) ;)

So, what bow did she end up with? Looks like Bein & Fushi's shop.

You are absolutely correct, it was Bein & Fushi's. Been there?

She's told me the name of the maker a few times, but it never sticks. It's an American maker, 1920s. It was tough; the French one (and some German one) she had in mind was way over the $$ range.

It's still on loan -- for a few more days. She may go for it, but she's been too sick to play the past few days, so she needs an extension. We'll see. I really liked how it sounded, overall, but the German one she tried had the best resonance in the lower strings, but rather flat in the higher range (or with staccatos).

Been to their shop once. Great selection, service. I hope your friend (wife?) feels better soon. Choosing a bow is sometimes more difficult than the instrument itself! Needs to match tonally with her viola (sort of like matching a lens to an M8 that won't backfocus! LOL). And the prices of these older French bows are through the roof. But they are really an investment. Anyway nice pics, as always, and tell her good luck in choosing bow!
