Congratulations Photony ... that's the first pic I've seen from this camera that's made me do a double take!

Really nice!

 

[photony texas]

Thanks Keith, It is going to take a bit of getting use to this camera for me, total change in work flow.

Something from the mOnO in more my style:

JSU first one in teXas as of yesterday.
Bad Dude=NO noise suppression, 50mm summilux pre ASPH @ I think 2.8, iso 640, 1/60, slight crop.

 

[photony texas]

JSU Yes Multiple Exposures in camera are possible BUT the technique is a bit strange.
Its not built into the camera you have to trick it. 😉

 

[furcafe]

Cool. Have any examples at really high ISOs (3200 & above)?

 

[photony texas]

furcafe, I only got to shoot a short amount of time yesterday, soon I will start posting higher ISO's.

way cOol. didn't think yOu of aLL peoPle would go for a digi anything. doubLE expoSures on the monOchOm (I give up; to hard to type these random caps; you've got way more patience than I). how'd he do that???

 

[moreammo]

Nice! Love the Spider man Shot 😀

That makes this the closest Mono to me then, congrats!

What part of Texas are you in?

 

[furcafe]

Understood, just wondering.

Thanks!

Very clean for 1250. I'd need some 6-stop or 12-stop ND filters to use that thing. Well, that or build my "add noise" chops...

 

[tennis-joe]

I found the pics. Great!

How do you do that?

 

[Keith]

You just hold in the rewind button while advancing the lever ... oh hang on! That was his last camera I'm thinking of!

Go on Helen you know you want one ... after all as far as the family is concerned it will just be another black Leica! 😀

Well Keith
I'm actually back into 'Chrome' at the Moment (using my M2) ...😱
considering selling my Black M4 for a Chrome M5
(always Loved that underdog the M5 and its needle meter)
never bought one, just had one loaned to me by tamarkin when i was having my other m Body repaired

as for the monochrom...I'm still a Film Gal
and for whatever absurd Reason on my Part
I LOVE the Challenge of Film...Plain & Simple

Not Knocking Digital ( in the past have had M8, RD1, RD1s, Grd, Grd2, Oly E1) but even though i had FUN with it
...there was less of a Challenge

if I get a digi...maybe something as small & fun like the sony Rx100 😱😱😱 ...just for that Crazy Whimsical Carefree moment
and that would still allow me to carry an M Film Body 😎

Admittedly I Love to get Wrapped up in EVERYONE's Enthusiasm for that newly acquired piece of Gear...the Honeymoon Stage Always Feels Right ...lol

As for LUSTING... Nowadays the only thing I Lust after is Finding 'That Shot'

*Apologies Tony, not trying to Hijack Your Thread...:angel:
Your off to a Good start with the Mono*
