Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Daniel Ridings Enviado el: domingo, 21 de enero de 2007 14:40 Para: Leica Users Group; MUGers@yahoogroups.com; rolleiusers@yahoogroups.com Asunto: [Leica] PAW 3 dlridings I know many think that a Leica should be used for street photography, sticking the light box in the faces of bums, misfits, and what-not. But I find street photography difficult in the dark, at 1/15 @ 2.0: http://www.dlridings.com/paw2007/3.html So later on in the week I'll try and mention some shots that I took with the 50/2.8 Elmar (LTM) that John Collier wants me to be happy with before the sale is final. Kind of like this one: http://www.dlridings.com/paw2007/alt/07v03-0003.jpg Or with the 90/4.0 screw mount Elmar that I bought for 40 dollars on the auction place. I had to take it apart and clean it up myself. It looked like a wet noodle had been left on one of the internal elements to dry. I just poured Sears Optical Eyeglass Cleaner on it and let it sit a couple of hours. Seems the smudge was only in the coating, not etched into the glass. This is one of them: http://www.dlridings.com/paw2007/alt/07v03-0007.jpg But I am rushed now. In between two jobs (hopefully) and ... well, sometimes things are the pits, sometimes they're just fine.
