[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've been working as a school manager for Gothia Cup. Gothia Cup is a tournament involving 1600 youth teams (football) from around the world. 29 were living at the school my wife and I were managers for. We live at the school for 8 days, 24 hours a day and solve a problem or two that crops up when you have to make sure 600 people enjoy themselves. Anyway ... back home now and played around with Jupiter (Jupiter-8). The Elmar is nice, but it is slow. http://gallery.leica-users.org/By-Jupiter I think it does just fine wide-open at close focusing range: http://gallery.leica-users.org/By-Jupiter/05v30_0003 http://gallery.leica-users.org/By-Jupiter/05v30_0010 http://gallery.leica-users.org/By-Jupiter/05v30_0005 (sometime I think the only thing the family does is sit around the kitchen table, eating cookies and reading newspapers) Not bad under normal circumstances either: http://gallery.leica-users.org/By-Jupiter/05v30_0002 One thing led to another, commie glass led to commie cameras etc etc. I'm on vacation, so it's a way to play around.
