Paulus,

 

Thank you, and I took the shot handheld at 1/2000th. I wouldn't have used such a high shutter speed but forgot to reset the ISO from 1000 although I decided that there was no need for noise reduction in pp.

 

The thing that struck me most during pp was the amount of detail that this lens resolves. I'd read a lot but seeing is believing: see for yourself in this 100% crop, particularly the tiny hairs on her nose.

I love those colours rirakuma! Simply beautiful!

 

I am still in full out play mode with the Leica S2, that I added some weeks ago to my gear.

I love these play mode times with new gear, as you just go out, have fun and experiment with different lenses, techniques and also subjects. It always takes some time, to pin down which standard combinations to make from cameras and lenses to use.

 

Here is one combo, that I never intended to make into such a standard combination for everyday use, but it surely is fun - Leica S2 + Mamiya 300 2.8 APO super telephoto.

On the S2, this lens means travelling back in time: manual focus, no auto aperture, heavy, but fun … who knows, as I used to shoot long lenses with the Nikon mostly handheld, this might as well turn out as a companion lens to carry in the future …

 

handheld, 1/60sec, wide open @f2.8:

… and one with a lens, that seems to turn out as one of my future favourite portrait lenses, 120 f4 Carl Zeiss Apo-Makro-Planar:

Here is one of the first shots I made this morning with my recently aquired 560mm f/5.6 Telyt, 1967 vintage. A male Chaffinch flying away from the feeder. Shame it's blurred!

Shot from the kitchen window on my newly aquired (Thursday week!) M9!

Walking on the Marlborough Downs on Wednesday, I took this shot with my M9 and 1967 Summaron 35mm. Shortly afterwards, the shot below was taken with my 1957 IIIg + 1955 Summicron 50mm on Fuji Acros 100.

here are three more with the Canon LTM 100mm f2 lens (1960's?) on the m240. I really like this lens a lot- it is quite sharp wide open:
