Subject: [Leica] I ran out of Speed... Lust List!
I was inside Hearst Castle. Christmas decorations all over the main
rooms...... Light streaming in, but the rooms are huge... and the windows
pretty small.
I used the 21 ASPH Elmarit-M.... and at F2.8, color, ASA 400 ( film..... no
M8 here), I needed 1/4 of a second. I took the shot ( if you don't, you
KNOW it will not come out...). Negs await processing.
But I sure would have liked to use the 21 ASPH F1.4......... That would
have gotten me to 1/15 of a second..... a LOT easier to hand hold......
If I had been traveling with ASA800 film, I would have picked up 1
stop......but I wasn't...... No flash allowed, ditto the monopod/tripod
thingie......
But for that once in a blue moon, I don't have an additional $5K for a
lens......never mind the additional weight.......
Put another one on my lust list......
