I was in position when the bride and groom exited the church and orchestrated where they should stand. I asked the B&G to call everyone in close and as the guests crowded around they knew to look up. This was the best of five or six shots. > Also, what generation on the lenses? I'm looking to upgrade, and trying > to compare the various generations of lenses in these focal lengths. The 50mm Summicron and the 90mm Elmarit were bought in 1993 and the 35mm ASPH was 1997. I had my M6 and 35mmSummicron stolen from a cathedral in June '97. I replaced it with the ASPH, but I think I had a better result from the old one. Don't know why, it's just a feeling that the older lens was "crisper". > > Regards, > Michael Gerard > geeman1066@earthlink.net > > Rob Heyman wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > After a couple of years of mainly lurking and the occasional comment I > > have finally posted a few images for comment and/or appraisal at: > > http://www.leica-gallery.net/heymanphoto/folder-3164.html > > > > These are from the last few weddings I have covered in and around > > Brisbane and, for better or worse, this and portraits is what I do. > > Please feel free to offer advice and critiques. > > > > Almost all wedding images are made with my M6 kit of 3 lenses 35, 50 and > > 90mm.
