Thank you Geoff! In fact those two are nearly unedited - raw as is in a way - for the remainder I mainly pushed, read got the slider to the right, the deeper tones to preserve detail in the shadows, and moved the the lower mid to restore some form of constrast. I have also noticed that the Nef gives feeble blacks and usually have to get the black slider a couple of clicks before getting what I want - I don't use profiles, just as when I cook, I taste from time to time, sometimes I spit too ;-) > Could be that I am > looking for Leica darks too!

Agreed for the BW - I'd need some software to mimick film grain though as noise gets in if I sharpen too much. > I love the expressions and postures caught and movement in 3832 and > 3857 > Good job! Thanks, my intent was to share the atmosphere of Metz when it looks like Bacelona at night :-) And it was fun to shoot with one lens only, and no zoom; back to basics and my Pentax times ... Only that the Spot was safer at lower speeds ... With the R9 diesel 1/15 is the extreme limit for sharpness and vibration blur ( cf BW boy lying on the dance floor) - the L1 fares better too. > You should get an M9 and fast glass ;-) I might some day, when they have updated to high ISO while retaining true tones at 100. In the meantime I'm doing with what available gear I have .. :-) Thanks for your much appreciated honest feedback my friend.
