As Roger said, it was another great meeting.  Kyle Cassidy and Craig  
Semetko both made photographically exciting and often really funny  
presentations.  Some pictures:

They were all taken with the G1 and either the new coded 21 mm Elmarit  
(the first) or a 70's vintage 50 mm Summicron (the rest).  Even with  
just the projector providing light, the camera was easy to focus  
though, as I've mentioned before, it's necessary to look around the  
camera to capture action.  The EVF slows way down under such dim  
light.  ISOs vary from 400 to 1250.

I've found it's possible to reliably focus the 50 at f2.0 and 2.8  
without the G1's magnification option, but the 21 needs it.  That's  
why there's only one 21 mm shot in this set.

My apologies up front if I've misspelled any names - or got them wrong.

C&C always welcome.

Regards,

Dick
