Just before I made it, the 2nd girl looked to the left. That was what I wanted to shoot. But I'm too rusty at focusing my MP: I don't use it enough anymore to keep proper prefocusing in my fingertips. So I stood there for about 30 seconds in the Orsay framing these ladies until they would repeat that stance again. Which didn't happen before they broke their formation. Thus I had to content myself with this one. I went shooting crazy last weekend in Paris, though. 6 rolls on 2 days, that must be my all time record. I never was a multi shooter. Underestimating the effect of a CV15 and bad exposure compensation lead to a lot of throw aways. (Yes, I'm very rusty now I'm using the D200 most of the time.) But some 30 are worthy, and I'll post some more of them in the coming days. Man, did I have fun with my M! Found my pal back. Must be the Luigi case and hand strap that made the difference. Now, it's not only ergonomically perfect, but also a pleasure to hold in your hands. Also, being left eyed, I always have part of my nose and cheek pushed to the back of the camera. Being kinda smell and tactile sensitive, I never loved the smell and feel of the vulcanite. But I love the smell and feel of fine leather. :-) This is another one form the Orsay that I'm proud of. Scan is straight from the negative, no cropping or optimalisation: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/phorlent/F1000023.JPG.html> MP, Canadian 35 Summicron, Fuji NPC 160.
