Jack,

I have another photo from this walk I will post as soon as I get in a hotel with decent Internet. It is so bad at tonight's hotel I gave up and switched to my iPad using cellular data.

Thank you for the complements guys.

The national park service had closed the road to this location so my daughter and I decided to walk there. I had stopped to take a photo on the way to this location when another photographer came walking up and we made small talk about the falling snow and beauty of the place. He was new to the area so I…[Read more]

A year ago we spent 10 days in Lappland. Several times we were out in -20 to -25 Centigrade for 2 – 4 hours at a stretch. Neither the S2 nor the m9 showed any problems with the cold. The only precaution we took upon returning back to our cabin: The cameras stayed in the respective bags until they reached normal temperatures again. This was done to…[Read more]

Very nice!

Please add some more.

Mark, a lovely image. Must be even great in a large print.

Mark,

This one is really special. Wow.

Glad to see we have some more fashion photographers posting

Kipper, you knew this would eventually be posted as a triptych, you just didn't know when.
5 degrees.
One more snow photo and I can go to warmer places.

I started with the 35mm only. I got the 120mm from David Farkas when it became available. That's all I have and the camera is used for everything. I recommend asking David for a loaner/renter of a 120mm for you to answer the questions you are asking, but don't examine it unless you have the cash to buy it as you will love it.

BTW, I need the flexibility because I traded my M9, M9-P and two Summilux lenses to acquire the S2 and S 35mm.

I've been well hooked !!

Jack & David, Thanks for your comments. Appreciated.

I only bought the S 35mm with the S2 to put a toe in the water and to test if my 4 Hasselblad lenses could be used effectively for more ‘static' landscape and square portrait shots. It reduces the initial investment and saves me from adding another lens set to my kit cupboard, but more…[Read more]

Constable and Jack, these photos make me cold just to look at them. It is cold here in Tennessee so unfortunately I can relate to the photos. I visited south Florida last weekend and I really miss the warm sunshine. Plus, it was great to see David Farkas, David K., Roger, and Josh. Wish I had more time there.

I like the color shot best Jack. Since moving to Florida I miss the change of seasons each of which has it's own beauty.

As far as a triple triptych…try saying that three times fast.

One of my favorite lenses of all time…and it plays nicely with the S2. Problem is that the darn Leica lenses are just so good I don't find myself using it much.

+1 to what Jack said…

Sun came out, and the photo changes from the above shot.

I like it. Nice framing too. Good title.
