It's true, I'm a fiend for the modern lenses and it seems a crime not to shoot colour when it is warranted. None of my stuff will ever be mistaken for HCB. Meanwhile I'll enjoy superbly sharp pics ;-) Actually I spent a day shooting scenic stuff and used a little monopod. Not a bad compromise. Actually worked very well either extended conventionally or retracted and held against the body. The priority was to try and produce some WOW factor slides, being bright sun, pretty spectacular scenery, the lovely 28, high shutter speeds and Velvia 100F. The results certainly are very sharp indeed and hold up well even projected very large. Love that Leica glass. They're a bear to scan though, being extremely dense and contrasty.
