(smaller sizes can be set, but are not recommended) 3.   Sharpen properly for screen. 4.   Save as JPG to your desktop, reducing JPG quality to produce 2000 kB (5000 kB for sponsoring members). 5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog. 6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “choose Files” and s

@trickness Did you zone focus for today's pictures? f5.6 - f8 ish?

Yes, absolutely! F8, (and I tried auto ISO for some of the shots, with mixed results.)

 

To me, the key to street photographs is zone focusing, otherwise you miss shots (and I still miss too many!)

Thank you for sharing! Lately Ive been "practicing" / trying to get adjusted to zone focusing with the Q; essentially trying to hack / factor in the weirdness of that focus scale [1] - personally I find it to be pretty painful (compared to M lenses) but definitely intending to keep at it.

[1] I tape measured reference points of 1 through 5 meters at home and then memoized the "divergences", ie learning what each actual distance translates to on the Q's focus scale.

I am honestly not very scientific about it. @F8 I try to keep minimum focus distance between five and 6 feet, which goes out to almost infinity. If I feel I’m really going to be in somebody’s grill, I might go down to 3 feet. I don’t really care if it’s not pin sharp, it’s more about the subject matter and the moment. I have been thinking about getting an M, I already have an SL2 and several pieces of M glass, but I wear glasses and I would have to use Contacts to see the frame lines on a 35. I find the Q2M leaves really nothing to be desired in terms of a fast street tool. 
 

biggest change I have to make for street shooting is to dump the wrist strap, I find when I have to open doors or go into my bag or get money or a subway pass the wrist strap it’s inconvenient… Going to get a neck strap this week!

hehehehehe - I just switched from exclusively using a neck strap to now using a "wrist strap" (super light - the one that comes with the Ricoh GR III) about a week ago :D

I don’t know where you are located but they are definitely not the best tactile experience in the New York City subway system 😆
