Thanks, i will do my best. :)

 

Is it possible to make the translucent stripes on the screen is not visible until the focusing?

(it makes it difficult to see the frame border)

Press the "Info" button I think, it scrolls through the display options.

Getting some maintenance done yesterday, and noticed this lovely older aircraft.

Took some film shots with my SWC, and a couple with my digi back-up.

Unfortunately no, sorry, I took these as in camera JPEG's only.

I did take some similar a while back, using my Leica T and the 18-56, so if I can find these I will post one from that lot, in colour.

Update.

OK, found a few from the Leica T, using the T18-56.

Same aircraft, taken last year.

As Toshi's shot above shows, the X-Vario is hard to beat for close up use.

 

Late summer, and cicada's abound. I took quite a few with the Elpro V1a, then tried the Elpro V1b. Since I had enough shots, I went the whole hog and stacked both Elpro's, so this is V1b with V1a stacked on the front, all at min focus on the X-Vario, and on a tripod. Flash also used.

 

If you're considering close-up work, get the Elpro's, I'm glad I did.

Superb image Gary. The Peter Karbe team's design of the XV's lens is one of their finest achievements. Contrary to all the naysayers' ignorant opinions of the camera, it has one of the most versatile APS-C zoom optics and it's such a shame that it was discontinued and not developed further. The less than anticipated sales were likely caused by the band wagon negative comments by those who dismissed it for, 'in their expert (not) opinions', having too slow a lens. 'Experts' who seem to forget that we are no longer living in the film era when ISO 200 was the max speed which enabled decent large colour prints and exhibition quality transparencies. Nowadays slow-ish lenses are no barrier to quality results and the XV's sensor combined with its superlative lens and image processing is quite capable of producing exhibition quality results at e.g. ISO 800 … and also throughout its aperture range and at any zoom setting. Furthermore, as is illustrated in Gary's image, the XV can be harnessed into a superb close-up 'tool camera' by the addition of one or more achromatic supplementary c/u lenses. I've stacked three Leitz VIb Elpros onto my XV with excellent results; you don't need a macro lens if you have an XV and a couple of Elpros - Elpro VIb or Elpro 2 -  both of which can be sourced relatively cheaply and are easy to adapt to the XV's 43 mm filter thread.

EDIT:  The Leitz Elpro VI (and VII) series of achromatic c/u lenses were originally designed in the mid-1960s for use with the first Leitz (Leica) R lenses e.g. the 1964 Leitz 50mm Summicron R … they are thus over 50 years young :) … and are testament to the quality of 1960s Leitz optics.
