Ian - I agree with you 100%. 

Yes.

 

I've owned most of the good compacts in the past – T2, T3, Minilux – and whilst they all have good lenses capable of excellent results (image quality simply isn't an issue) none of them can hold a candle to a decent RF camera for inherent usability. You get none of the instinctive control you get with an M rangefinder (it focusses when and where you want it to and the camera fires at exactly the moment you desire) and you get a poky little view of the world to boot. I truly believe that once you become familiar with a Leica M camera, no other "35mm" camera is an adequate substitute.

 

Lovely, Chris.  El-cheapo doesn't stop you.... :)

Interesting, Dirk.  You can def see the effect of the artificial light.  But the Ektar handles it much better than the portra.  Nice shot - hope it was on sale :)

Hi Adam, I think b&w works really well here. This is my favorite of the series so far.

I appreciate your opinion on this.  It is very helpful!  I'd be interested in knowing how you feel about some of the other B&Ws that I will be sharing soon, assuming you have the time to spare.  Thanks again!  Adam

The chipmunk has only emerged from her burrow in the last week and is already climbing on my hand for sunflower seeds. Perhaps she remembers me from last year.

 This one has great atmosphere.

 

 

I like it, but I prefer your colour shots in the blizzard series. So much more pop, esp. since New Yorkers seem such a colourful bunch.

I certainly don't blame you for thinking that but we were really close. Our vehicle was a only a few metres away but the lion didn't mind at all. Who would with such a feast at one's paws?

 

This is with 400mm (using the extender). Sadly I must have got the shivers from his stare because this one isn't as sharp as it could have been. Still I like it.

Amazing stuff, Philip.  Love them all but my favorite is the last one.  He seems to be cuddling perversely next to that bloody carcass and gazing at you in content.
I was also wondering about your focal length as 200mm seemed way too close!  400mm sounds more like it! :)
