lenspeeper Posted May 17, 2019 Share #5608 Posted May 17, 2019 On 5/10/2019 at 2:28 PM, Petercoll said: I have a cheapo 2x extender, and I get an annoying halo round the image. Thorsten Overgaard says this is a characteristic of a non APO 2x extender. I just read an interesting article at https://lavidaleica.com/content/overgaard-workshop-flim-flam. I have Overgaard's and LaVida Leica websites in my browser menu and read both sites frequently, but not daily. LaVida does a lot of equipment comparisons and they seem like pretty straight shooters. Overgaard has a penchant for expensive bling accessories for his Leica stable and his reviews, while opinionated are informative as another opinion to consider when shopping for equipment. However, I was blown away by the lavidaleica.com article. Admittedly, his books and courses are very expensive and I have never purchased any, mostly because I'm probably to stubborn and aged to change my ways. I won't repeat any assertions about Overgaard that were made in the article because as a retired attorney I know the risks of repeating information that has not been factually verified. Having said that, you may want to read the lavidaleica.com article and any further information you may wish to share would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropo54 Posted May 18, 2019 Share #5610 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) CL w 55/135 Two stories here: This is a picture of my daughter being "capped" at graduation ceremonies from medical school. She is to begin her residency at a hospital next month for the next 3 years in Pennsylvania. First story: I was sitting in the "nose-bleed" seats, quite a distance from the stage and with the 55/135. Lighting was not particularly good at all, and most of the photos were taken at iso 6400 @ 200mm (135mm). To my incredible surprise, the quality of the photos was superb! So, big kudos to the 55/135 and the CL. Second story, and this puts the photo in more perspective. The gentleman "capping" her was her pediatrician, who some 25 years earlier had saved her life, by responding to the hospital in the middle of the night to care for her! She had been running a fever of 105, with vomiting, for several hours after coming home from school. At 7pm, the pediatrician returned a call and told us to call him at home at 11 pm to give him an update.With her high fever and vomiting continuing still at 11 pm he told us to go to the hospital, and he would be in touch with the ER physician. Blood work was done and IV fluids were given. At 2 a.m. the ER physician told us that "he would have sent us home" but the pediatrician was "making him" admit her (actual words). At 4 am, upon arrival with the floor nurse her blood pressure was starting to drop, and by 4:30 a.m. our pediatrician rushed to hospital to her bedside to examine her. Immediately upon seeing some 'spots' developing on her abdomen, his face blanched, and he said "Let's go!" and he and I just grabbed her bed and wheeled her up to ICU floor, where we were in a race against time to see whether 'they' could get IV antibiotics into her fast enough to counter the meningococcemia that had invaded her blood stream. For 3 days, we would not know if she would make it: it was a race against time. Would the ravages of the bacteria have wrought enough destruction to her organs and killed her before the antibiotics could kill the meningococcemia? (I won't go into the details of meningococcemia, suffice it to say it will often kill within hours of being diagnosed, or leave one with significant impairments from brain damage, loss of limbs, to other tragic results). When my daughter called her pediatrician after not having spoken to him in many, many years to ask if he would accept the honor of "capping" her, he cried on the phone. We reconnected for the first time in many, many years today. He had certainly never forgotten my daughter, and had thought often about her case over the years. But for his being an 'old-school' medical doctor, my daughter would have died within hours. (We did not deal with an answering service, no response, or a nurse covering his calls, telling us to 'come in in the morning if she's still sick', etc. . . . ) A fabulous personal moment, and context to the photo. A very special man and doctor. Rob Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Huge congratulations to your Daughter, a very proud moment to capture. I can well imagine how terrifying those hospital hours were twenty five years ago, and you were indeed lucky to have had such a caring and thorough Doctor. Nice to see this happy moment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boojay Posted May 18, 2019 Share #5618 Posted May 18, 2019 Visited my favourite creatures again yesterday. Just wanted to share these two. CL and 180R. First to show why they need to protect young trees in the Deer Park. Think this big old tree will survive the stripping of its bark guessing it's been there a hundred years or more. The second image is a huge crop, from original 6000 x 4000 down to around 1500 x 1000, then resized for here, I think I lifted the exposure slightly but other than that nothing. I am always very happy with the 180R on the CL, my longest (cheapest) lens, while I wait to see what other L mount options arrive. Welcome, dear visitor!

They strip the bark at this time of the year for the reason, if the grass grows suddenly very lush, it clogs their digestive tracts and digestion takes a hit, so they chew it down to alleviate constipation ! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
