As I reported in another post, I headed off to NY last Thursday and gave my M6 and 35 2.0 ASPH a nasty whack which jammed the focusing ring and pranged the range finder but good. Ouch. Fortunately I have my 28mm elmarit with me and the shutter seems to work fine. I have a tripod as well so I'm just shooting everything at f11 and using the DOF scale for focusing. I must say my commitment to the PAD project is one of the things that's kept me going with my wounded Leica. When in NYC I like to load up with E100S and shoot at night. F/11 at 6 to 12 seconds (doesn't make much difference). Lots of fun stuff. They're slinging up Prometheus tonight (the big statue at Rockefeller Center) in preparation for moving him. Got a couple of shots of that as well as some nifty light patters over at the CBS building. My artist friend has raised yet a new issue with me - that of formalism vs narrative. Are your pictures primarily about form or about the content (meaning, story, etc.) Interesting question. Cheers Kevin Hoffberg
