......and rangefinders can't do sports
FInally made it to one of my daughter's games with the M8. Lighting in this gym allowed me to use ISO 1250 for all of these shots except #1 (@2500). I still have a lot to learn about sports photog but I'm very happy with the M8's performance.
Summicron 50 & 90 both @ f2.8

Very nice series Henry.

More evidence to debunk the myth that M's can't do sports, too.

Thanks.

Henry -

An excellent series and I'll bet all of your daughter's teammates want copies. Excellent action, details, tonal range and contrast on the all. My favorite is #3 for its framing and its implication of what's off screen.

Thanks very much guys. Stuart, my favorite is # 3 as well; she was double-teamed almost the entire game and was still the high scorer.

Regards,
Henry
