    dalethorn started the topic Ravenel Bridge at Night – Long View in the forum Images to Share 11 years, 7 months ago

    This scene I've shot before, but my first attempt here with the T/18-56. Not sure why so much noise, but I assume shooting JPEG at 8 seconds, even at ISO 100 – that's what I get. There doesn't seem to be a “Long Exposure Noise Reduction” feature like the Monochrom has, so I wonder if a firmware update could add that feature.

    Jack, I'm going to limit myself to picking my favorite shot, which is the one with the file name that begins with i-dkR. (As an aside…where did those weird names come from?) I like the sky best in that one. I'm a sucker for cloud formations…we have lots of them down here in Florida. I don't see a triptych here, but if anyone can make it…[Read more]

    Give Sherry Krauter a call: 845-496-8834.

    She is the best of the best. She has serviced my M cameras over the years and gives top notch service at reasonable prices with quick turnaround times.

    She has a website at http://www.sherrykrauter.com but call her, as she has reliability issues with her email server.

    Your Right!! There is no way to Safely Travel with the Kit. Even though I did (AND SAFELY) with the 30-90 Vario Hood over about 1000 Kilometers. I have no idea what ˆ was Thinking?????

    Thanks, any chance of seeing what it looks like packed? Looking at 24, 35, 70, 120, 180, 30/90 plus S2/grip and whatever else fits…. No opportunity to see one before purchase as I am in NZ, the Ms have their own bag(s) 😉

    Very thick, no folding. All my Lenses. (CS) 120, 180 (with adapter), 45, 70, 30-90 Vario, S with RRS L_Plate Attached, Leica Monochrome, %o Noctilux….basically everything.

    chiaroscuro replied to the topic Another S Bag Thread :rolleyes: in the forum Leica S 11 years, 7 months ago

    What lenses did you fit in it? Thinking of the hood on 24mm and 30/90 primarily….

    Does it have a firm base, i.e will not fold in half if a lens is taken out of the middle?

    thanks

    I am working on a project for a B&W book focusing on shoreline. I have 23 images so far, here are four.
    Yes Kipper, is you line up three of these four, you could have a triptych.
    Which do you recommend?

    This is the project that led me to try a T vs S test that is discussed separately.

    I have been shooting a series with the S in B&W on a lake. I might upload a few examples eventually.
    Fellow Leica photographer Gary has been showing me some excellent work with his T, so I decided to do a bit of a test with the two cameras.
    I shot a scene with the T and then tried to duplicate it with the S.
