[Leica] My first "assignment" - Giving Smiles

[Gerry Walden]

That is interesting, and I did already check the exif files. I telephoned Leica UK a while back and asked if there was a flash unit that would work on both the M9 and the M7 and surprisingly they told me there wasn’t. Obviously the SF58 works well on the M9. Have you tried it on any other cameras?

A very happy New Year to you too, with many more beautiful ladies to chase around the streets of your wonderful city.

Gerry

On the EXIF you can see the ones with/without flash, I prefer without flash, but for such events …

The act consisted according to the Spanish tradition of giving presents for the Epiphany from the “Magic Kings”, like the children the persons shall wrote a letter to them asking for a present of a value no more than 30 Euro. First at all it was a small lunch and after that the presents was delivered.

Some pictures are not perfect but for me it is more important the emotion than perfection, and my preference is always for the life moment.
