These were made with the Zuiko 11-22/2.8-3.5, at the focal length of 22. They were exposed at 1/20-1/30 @ 3.5 and mildly cropped to reduce the clutter in the room. I experimenting with PhaseOne's Capture Pro for RAW conversion into PhotoShop 7 (which I still use); B&W conversion with Fred Miranda's PS plug in. The tonal range on these images is spectacular, except for the predictable blown spectral highlights around lighting sources. I found it tough going to get reasonably sharp results at this shutter speed and where there's a lot of movement (here's where one distinctly feels the absence of fast Leica glass and why I pant for Zuiko's soon-to-be-released fast normal prime), but I'm curious, do *any* of these final-cut images work? http://cmbrow.people.wm.edu/photography/New/1172223BW.htm http://cmbrow.people.wm.edu/photography/New/1172228BW.htm http://cmbrow.people.wm.edu/photography/New/1192262BW.htm Cheers!
