Just wanted to hear your reactions: http://www.chrismaness.com/backend/misc/diego2b.jpg Hello Chris, the Picture is maybe too unsharp and crispy... In my opinion the main Part of the Picture is the Boy and not the edge of the screen...but this edge is sharp and not the boy. i Know, it is a difficult light situation, but what did you use for a f-stop and ISO speed ? Maybe this could be the problem :-) Greetix, Stéphane. -- "Living in the earth is expensive but it does include a free trip around the Sun every year!" http://www.sck-photo.de ( For E-Mail remove the _nospam to write me ) |

I like the camera, but I think the rangefinder is off. It seems to be consistantly focusing behind the subject. I think I will go back to using my canon with my f/1.4 50mm prime. |

Hello Chris, yes if you have focused on another part of the picture, your rangefinder seems to be out of focus...but you can adjust it with a screwdriver...canon is not the same as MF :-) What for I have no explanation is the lot of grain...200 ISO ist not too fast and grany for modern film emulsions, what did you use for a film ?

I think it is a little baked from the hot car. However, I like the grainy look. That is kindof what I was going for a really rugged available light grainy shot, but I guess the out of focus part is too much to stomach for people to get it. |

You can, but for this kind of snapshot it won't be very appealing. |

Hello, without reading anyother replys and giving you my reaction-I
love it! it has an old time feel to it, I like the grainy soft effect-not all photos warrant pin sharp focus. I use a Sima soft focus lens to get my grainy soft effect-its one of my favorite lenes to use, especially when photographing kids! I will read on for more info and opinions! Be well!
