2 Days with different light here.
first 4 are with 15mm and flat light. I messed about with some PP on one shot. It looks it
The second batch are with 1.4/40 and a pretty nicely lit day. just some global controls in PP.
I love both of these lenses. RF work in the woods is not optimal but still do-able.

I have the 40mm 1.4 too and i love it.
It's such a wonderful lens for so little money.
Great shots btw, the 15mm looks like it has great potential! |

Nice series Andy. Number 3 is my favorite. I see that, like me, the dog goes where you go.

Pretty nice shots, Andy.
It is hard to frame precisely with RF camera,
and also difficult to focus the point you want to. _________________ Our Home Page has 18,200 photos in 575 directories today.

Nice set, Andy!
# 3 has a "kubrickesque" point of view - really "takes you inside". Very good!
I think I can see your point about rangefinder in the woods. The location really is pushing for closeups and selective DOFS, all things that (for different reasons) are awkward on a rangefinder. But you managed pretty well. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Thanks Guys for all your encouragement.
I know these shots are difficult to comment on and so I appreciate it that much more.
@Ron
As Koji and Orio indicate. Rangefinders are difficult for close framing and selective focus.
For example the 1.4/40 has a minimum focus range of just under 1 meter.
When you combine that with variations in the RF range itself, it is difficult to focus on small details accurately.
On the 4th snap for example. The lens was open or at f2 and those little leaves are only 20mm or so wide.
The Rangefinder could be easily lined up with the a leaf (or the vine even easier ) and the lens could actually still be front or rear focused slightly do to the skinny DOF.
The number of accurately focused shots goes way down as your subject comes closer and aperture goes larger.
It is so tempting to look for details in the forest. Not as simple to get them.
It is fun though I will love to keep at it. _________________ Moderator |

Thanks Andy,Koji and Orio. I have no experiance with them.
When I was young my uncle had a very expensive camera. It, as I remember, looked like it had two viewfinders. Maybe that was a rangefinder or maybe they didn't make them back then. _________________ Ron |
