[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Two weeks ago i traded in allmost all my photo equipment just to buy a m6 with a noctilux. Feeling a bit silly because it was excellent stuff but not used a lot since i started carying a very small digital camera. Felt even more silly having trouble holding the camera fingers in all the wrong places well you can imagine. Earlier i barged in on a film versus lenses discussion and expressed my thoughts that compared to a ccd camera the noctilux would stand no chance in shooting the night sky handheld. I tried though and still can hardly believe the result.Even though i underexposed 2 stops from the meter reading the resulting picture looked like early twilight with venus in the center.But it was polaris on a dark night. Also holiday pictures i took using e100 were unexpectately pretty. I really threw a lot of previous investment away to get this combo but i,m happy as a clam. simon jessurun amsterdam the netherlands - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
