Albert: Nice shot, I'd kill for that lens... We have loons here also (state bird)
and their calls at dusk and early evening are haunting. I often canoe/camp up by
the Canadien border (BWCA) and sometimes plan a trip just to hear the loons.
Usually one pair to a lake, unless the lake's big.
Abbazz: Thanks for the compliment. And you're right, compromises have to be
made with every lens design choice - making them smaller/lighter's going to
introduce a bit more CA. But seeing as my $60 SMC-M 135 shows about the
same amount of LOCA as my $750 DA* 50-135 at 135 (ie: not very much at all)
I'd say it's a compromise I'm willing to live with!
aruxaru: Congrats, you picked up a nice piece in the 50 1.7. Once you get
better at MF, the pleasure shooting that will increase quite a bit, and you'll
want even more M primes. (and A primes, and K primes, and Super Taks,
and Vivitars, etc, etc, etc..)
Ann: Welcome to the club! The M-clubs's not exclusive, but I'll tell you going
in, we're extremely, extremely cool.
Zewrak: Nothing's banned, and I'd love to see shots from that 150 super tak
I keep hearing about.
KungPOW, great shot, I love shots like that. More please. And that shot was a guy, I'm
pretty sure. I wanted to get a shot of the inexplicable jester shoes.
fearview: That girl's welcome anywhere
But you should get out and take some
new shots too, we need to get those M's back on those cameras, at least for a day! Get goin' !
falcons: nice, especially the jumping kid. That 100's another M I covet.
Simon: You got it. As much as I would like to duplicate every focal length I
own three times over, the pragmatic side of me speaks up every now and again
and makes me sell off duplicate lengths. I almost sold that M 85 f/2 once,
but backed out at the last minute. I won't be selling any M left in my sig, in fact I'll
probably be adding a few more if anyone wants to let go of a 24, 28, 35, 100,
150 or 300.
PS - when you get the 85 & 135 package of Super Tak sweeteness, feel free
to post in here or start a SuperTak-club thread, in which I'd eagerly contribute.
TG: very nice! Reminds me of some recent DA* 300 shots we've been seeing.
In fact, I'd love to see how those two compare in an head-head IQ showdown sometime.
Glad to see you got the images working, really looking forward to those shots.
