Wow whatever low pressure sodium wavelgihts were in those shots you sure got
rid of them they look as white as the driven snow!
Let alone amazing follow focus with a rangefinder camera.
Such shots are only ten times more difficult but as we see CAN BE DONE.
Someone forgot to tell you such stuff CAN NOT BE DONE with a tele on a
rangefinder camera. Proving my ongoing thesis "its always what you don't
think!".
Great therapy for everybody.
