Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment. That one was f/1.4 1/40th sec at ISO 1250. The lady was only 2 mtetres away and I was sitting, shooting, talking Leica and having a beer with a fellow Leica shooter in a fairly dark laneway cafe. I had to be discreet so as not to intrude. John leant back and I pointed past his nose and went click. John was putting me to shame working fast with his Nocti, nailing the focus more often than not. 2009/8/28 Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> > Hi Geoff, > > Thanks for the clarification.
