From my Hexar RF and M-Rokkor Combo. Superia 400.
 
I love my 40/2 M-Rokkor (CLE version). It's small, fast, sharp, relatively inexpensive and it fits the 35mm frame lines on my R-D1 perfectly.

Some of the following photos were taken in "snap-shot" mode, pre-set exposure, focus set to 3m and the camera secured with a wrist-strap in my right. I was either holding an umbrella or had some shopping bags in my left hand so no chance for focussing, just aim, shot and rewind.

Gabor - I'm curious about your "snapshot" settings. When you preset your exposure for night shots, what values are you setting? And are you using hyperfocal distance for focus?

Thanks,
C

It depends on the film (and location !) In Sapporo, a big and at night well illuminated city, 400ISO were good for f/1.0 and 1/60s or f/1.4 and 1/30s and 1600ISO for f/4.0 and 1/15s. With focus set to 3m (for me ideal when using 50mm or 40mm lenses), I was ready to go. :)
 
maddoc, I think I like your photo. It seems incredibly full of details and has a perfect BW rendition and contrast, in my opinion.

+1 as well. I was thinking it impressive that you must have stopped down a fair bit to get that much depth of field, which must have implied a pretty long exposure at night, yet you managed to hand-hold quite steadily. Nice picture!

Currently, I'm using my CLE/40mm mostly for slide film. These are all shot on Velvia 50 and are from a recent trip to San Francisco.
