Did you shoot at waist level, or held it up to your eye ? - --adi : But then just before midnight a call came in that a battered woman was : threatening suicide. We got there, and this woman was surrounded by police : trying to diffuse the situation. A woman from the neighborhood was helping : calm her down. I did not want to identify her, so I stood behind her (she : only noticed me for a second) and took pictures of her silhouetted against : a bright light and included side-lit cops from headlights. The M6's : focusing was perfect for this. And the 35 Summilux ASPH 1.4 aperture with : Fuji 800 pushed to 3200 made shooting a breeze. Not to mention that it : being flare free makes me confident I'll get good pictures in a horrible : lighting situation. This camera has no competition for this kind of : shooting. Quiet, unobtrusive, focusing that makes you absolutely sure you : are dead-on. :
