We had planted some bougainvillea around the deck and since the day was overcast I did a bit of photography of those. <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2005/10/16/_L3U6934-crv-rtch.jpg> <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2005/10/16/_L3U6940-crv.jpg> I also converted on to black and white which, I think, I like best: <http://www.adambridge.com/Photos/2005/10/16/_L3U6940-bw.jpg> Leica 100 APO and Canon 1Ds MKII, tripod. I'm a little grumpy because even though I was VERY careful with focus the focal plane seems to be behind the indicated focus in the viewscreen. I'm using the prism viewfinder and boy, these looked dead on but in fact the focal plane was mm further away from the lens than I thought. I've noticed this with my Leica telephotos as well. Thanks for looking and, if you desire, commenting. Adam
