When I had my bag packed this morning, I remembered comments (and even outragious mails ) about my comment, that the beautifully made Artisan and Artist ACAM-7100 would be impossible, to hold a computer AND a camera. Well, as I commented earlier and seen here, this happens, just to be my daily working bag, which happens, to hold this Today: "7.4kg - closed" on flickr "7.4kg - inside" on flickr … more gritty details about exactly, what's inside my bag in Today's blog post on teknopunk.com Can you find the hidden item ? The bag has not been deliberately packed, to demonstrate, how much it could swallow, but indeed has happened, to just have this stuff inside Today: M8.2 + Noctilux as my long time favorite camera / lens combo (seldom leave the house without) M9 + 35 Summaron LTM as Today's 35mm alternative (love that tiny Summaron!) MP + 50 Collapsible Summicron-M for testing out the new lens, had it yesterday on the M9 for testing, which was moot, as the f2 Cron and slow ISO2500 M9 is just not good enough for low light ;-) I packed TX400 @3200 instead Today and will see, where it's heading The hidden item is in for finding a spare part, should I happen, to find time, to browse the camera markets Today - it's tiny, but heavy though.

Monday was a great day in England, cold, very bright with a North Easterly wind. Wanting to cram as many pleasures into one day I decided to take my M9 with my Noctilux f/1 (although I still think of it as Steve Huff's Noctilux) in the Chipmunk for a flight. http://ianspector.smugmug.com/Airplanes/De-Havilland-Chipmunk/Flying/20100308ics-M91587/805716412_MkBZg-L.jpg Shooting at 1000ft from Buckinghamshire to Dorset with the roof open I very soon realised that I was going to move the Noct off its normal f/1 setting. To my horror Even with the ISO at 160 some of my shots required f/8 at 1/4000. Whilst over Reading I could maintain f/4 and the shots could not have been sharper; at 100% I can see people walking in the car park. http://ianspector.smugmug.com/Airplanes/De-Havilland-Chipmunk/Flying/20100308ics-M91573/805704174_G6FAf-L.jpg However as I headed further south and onto f/8 my images were very soft; even after sharpening as can be seen here http://ianspector.smugmug.com/Airplanes/De-Havilland-Chipmunk/Flying/20100308ics-M91574/805707613_m8nnx-L.jpg I can only assume that given the smaller lenses diffraction is the culprit here. What are the accepted Leica lens limits before diffraction, and is it the same for all leica lenses? I guess an ND filter is in my future. Many thanks for your help., Ian
