If you look at many of our LUG galleries, *we* take pictures of flowers, not dog-dookie in a bag strung up on a fence mate. That was a great picture. As was No. 7 I think it was, the little alley: it was like the geometry of nowhere. (I see some FLOWERS in your large format work. Start thinking that way again friend. Nobody wants to know from all that reality. The picture of the cathedral/basilica/church in Normandy was superb in your travel section. What was that taken with? It was an ideal (in my mind) b&w photograph. Anyway thanks for sharing the fine work. but come spring, think gardens. Vince PS I just picked up a G1 lightly used, $400 with 14-45 lens; much the same guts as the GF1 but affordable for me, plus it has a viewfinder. Not nearly so handsome, I admit. Anyway I'm loving it. Interestingly, I have a Summicron 50 and a CV 21/4 that work beautifully on it but the kit 14-45 is within a hair's breadth of matching them in image quality. My cheap Elmar 90/4 is amazing on it. And, further afield, I have a Minolta MD 24/2.8 that is as beautiful a lens as any I've owned and all its strengths (but width of course) shine on the G1 as well. What great cameras.
