HuntingSand Posted October 17, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Greetings to the good T folk here, just wanted to say "hello" from Paris as a new owner of the 701 (had it six weeks now). The camera has the 11-23 mounted, and the Leica half case for protection. Working with the DNGs seems pretty smooth, I managed to lift some horrible files (my bad I suppose) by 4.5 stops, with respectable results. The lens is sharp across the focal range, color fidelity and tonality are good to excellent, 16MP plenty for my purposes at present. C'est la vie... A bientot.Thomas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learner Posted October 17, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 17, 2016 Bienvenue... Bet you can take some great shots of the Eiffel tower with that 11–23. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingSand Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted October 17, 2016 Bienvenue... Bet you can take some great shots of the Eiffel tower with that 11–23. Ha! Yep, that's the lens to do it with. I use it for street, architecture or general documentation, and enjoy the results quite a bit. Here are some samples: http://hahn.zenfolio.com/paris_2016 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only am here temporarily, for a few months. There are worse places to hang out, that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted October 17, 2016 Share #8 Posted October 17, 2016 Dear Thomas how great to see you joyning us in this site. This is a nice place with very decent people and I am sure everyone would enjoy you wonderful photos. Stay warm, my friend. The weather is becoming less docil in Paris at this time of the year?

You are obviously not new to photography. What else do or did you shoot with before the T? Just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas is a great photographer who has been all over the world. This gallery is only with T; but he has been using different Leica cameras. I wish he would also post us his gallery of San Francisco Parades; just breathtaking images! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I appreciate it. I bought the T shortly before leaving San Francisco, so it's only really been in service here in France (and Switzerland). I do know my way around the DNGs (somewhat at least, I have M gear back home), so it's fun to tinker with the files here in the "City of Light". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Louis, old friend, thanks for checking in! I've been subscribed to this site for years, just never posted much at all. The weather in Paris, well, the leaves change colors now, and it's getting a bit unpredictable, but yesterday (Sunday) was beautiful, so I went down to the Paris version of the Highline Park (the walkable part of La Petite Ceinture), then to Citroen Park, and passed under your (not mine!) favorite bridge (Alexandre III, right?). I encountered a smartly dressed lady who also took pictures with a silver T (plus viewfinder) along the river, it was a good day to be out and about.

I did mean something like that, and much more!.... BTW, I can understand if Alexandre III is not your favorite in Paris. If you had all the memories I have from that bridge, it would be!... BTW, where do you go in Switzerland? I don't know if I told you before, I grew up in Geneva!... But if want to see real beautiful landscapes, you must go to the region between Switzerland and Italy!

Jkulin Posted October 17, 2016 Share #17 Posted October 17, 2016 Thomas I am 57 in the morning and have been doing photography for probably 30 odd years, mostly Film/B&W and E6, but if I could take images just 1% as good as you then I would be very proud, your images and portrayals have simply stunned me, thank-you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if want to see real beautiful landscapes, you must go to the region between Switzerland and Italy! Louis, I didn't know you were from Geneva. Well, I took the train down from Paris to Zurich, spent four days there, including one day hiking, very pleasant indeed, but not as alpine or spectacular as the area you are referring to I'm sure. So, Alexandre III, hmmm, I understand what you're saying... I am a fan of the old iron bridges over the Seine, myself (Austerlitz Viaduct for example, or Pont Mirabeau).

Thank you, you are giving me too much credit. My ratio of keepers vs stuff I toss at the end of the day isn't all that impressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
