IkarusJohn Posted July 2, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 2, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just back from a photography weekend in the Marlborough Sounds. Needless to say, I was the only Leica shooter. For these shots, I used my AA Summicron 90, with my M9-P - shot at ISO 160. It's very tricky focussing manually, while all round you other photographers are machinegunning their 5DIIIs with 400/4 IS lenses. Interestingly, a number said they were impressed with my silent shutter! Spotted Shag, f/4 at 1/1500 Welcome, dear visitor!

Karl G Posted July 2, 2013 Share #4 Posted July 2, 2013 That is a damn impressive shot with a RF Leica and a beautiful shot with any camera at all. I would confess to shooting lots of wildlife but all with fast AF Nikons and pretty big glass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Taylor Posted July 2, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 2, 2013 Karl is right, you did an excellent job with you 90mm - Love your title it fits? Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted July 2, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 2, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) I agree with everyone. Impressive pictures from any camera let alone a RF using a 90mm lens. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotted Shag, f/4 at 1/1500 Hi John, This is an advantage when you shoot birds .... the silence Spotted Shag taking off, f/5.6 at 1/45 - SEP2 This last one in b&w is very nice !

IkarusJohn Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted July 2, 2013 This last one in b&w is very nice ! Thanks for the kind comments, guys. The last one is my favourite as well. After three days, I took about 200 images. One guy with a Canon and a huge lens machine gunned off around 4,000 images. That said, the good ones were very impressive. Considering trading my M9-P for a D800E and the new 80-400 f/4 zoom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest Wanderer Posted July 2, 2013 Share #11 Posted July 2, 2013 Nice collection of images. The fun is using the camera you have and getting shots that please you. I've had the big fast lenses but get more joy using my Leica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted July 3, 2013 Share #12 Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments, guys. . Considering trading my M9-P for a D800E and the new 80-400 f/4 zoom. I would think long and hard about that one. I have a Nikon D2sx and 80-200 Nikkor zoom and it never gets used. Instead I'm using a D-Lux 4 and a M6 with three lenses. There is less pain carrying them around and the IQ is about the same. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeinzX Posted July 3, 2013 Share #14 Posted July 3, 2013 Impressive photographs - esp. with a RF and a 90. The #3 is an extraordinary and excellent shot in an absolute way - no matter, what camera has been used. It is an example for a photograph made by an outstanding photographer.
