Secondly I'm not a great user as you are of the 28mm, the Tri Elmar on the M8 give me as you say a short tele with the 50, a 50 with the 35 and a 32 with the 28, what is quite correct for me. The quality of the this lens is superb, but when I go to shot everywhere and I can found dark situations I'm more comfortble with my individual lenses. But you have a Nocti... Other point is his minimum focus distance: 1 meter. In my opinion these one prooves his quality: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/L1001445bw.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/L1003901-1.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/L1003845-1.jpg.html On my album "Barcelona" you can see many examples http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Barcelona/ I hope this helps Saludos cordiales Lluis El 22/08/2009, a las 5:14, Ric Carter escribi?: > Okay. > > I've been noticing that most of the work I do in the street, I'm > shooting f/4 to 8. > > My predominant shooting on film was on 35 and 50.
