Apart from the photos being gorgeous, they are showing some very useful things about the MM's ISO settings. It looks like 1600-ish is the sweet spot for the variables of detail, motion-stopping, fine grain, and dynamic range--where we can get all of them in reasonable amounts. The one at 5000 was a little too gritty in the shadows for my taste, the one at 4000 was significantly better. I think this one is just right for hand held "artistic" (as opposed to "journalistic") depiction of the conditions involved. --Peter On Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 3:46 PM, Jay Burleson <leica at jayburleson.com> wrote: > Thanks Jim. > The 21 Elmarit is an especially good lens paired with the Monochrom. > > Jay > > > On 6/9/2015 3:05 PM, Jim Nichols wrote: > >> That's a great job of handling a difficult mix of lighting, Jay.
