It’s really amazing how much a good reflection can enhance an image

hi, it photo u tooks from leica M8?
but look like great photo no noise.

NorthernLights · 27th June 2009

Thanks. Max ISO I will shoot at is ISO 1250.

There is character with M8 shots that do not render skin and things with a plastic look like the Canon 5D I used to have.

One of my favourites at the Cao Dai holy see temple.

I don't do film. RF digital gear is limited. Either you go M or RD1.

I only got 2 lenses the 28 and 50.

It's interesting how spoilt I was with AF DSLR's and range of zoom lenses. Now, at 1.3x crop, with 28mm, I am getting 36.4mm. When I have a scene needing wide angle, in the past I just zoom it 24mm or 16mm. Now in case the scene I want goes away, I got to think hard how to shoot something at 36mm and still look like got perspective for 36mm.

No more fisheye and tilt-shifts...u gain some (mobility and stealth), u lose some (versatility, variety, speed).

Very much more difficult.
