Luis Ripoll:

How nice to receive your gift of praise for my favorite M5, 50 mm f1.2
combination.one that has given me much pleasure over the years.mostly in
bygone Kodachrome 64 days! Your marvelous work moves me to reach for my M5
again, but shoot with B&W film this time. May I ask what B&W films you favor
and which ones you'd recommend I use for low-light, no-flash photography?

Re: Dear Dr. Pomeroy and to all other Luggers who have take your time to  

write so many kind words,

 

First at all thank you very much!!!,  If I'm not respond sooner was  

because today was a day with the family and my grandsons and also,  

sincerely, I didn't find the words to answer.... Well, on these cases  

I think the best is the simplest thing, say I really apreciate your  

comments and thank you, very, very much!

 

Secondly I would like comment some precise things, Leon: If I had a  

Nocti 1.2 I will try to use it as much as I can! the M5 is a lovely  

camera, I never used it, but I think it is one of the best Leica  

cameras ever maid.

 

Stasys, I really want to meet you next june and have a great time  

together as it has been with all the other Luggers whos was visited  

Barcelona, BTW thank you very much for purchasing my book.

 

Jan: for my style I'm really comfortable with a 50mm lens as the lens  

for general use, or as Richard says a 35. These lenses allow to react  

fast in front almost all the situations, a 90 lens is lovely, but IMO  

more for portraits.

 

Steve: I think I meet the LUG in 2004 or 2005, initially I was posting  

on Photonet, I remember I have posted in 2005 some pictures from  

Perpignan with Nathan and Steve Unsworth (now the album is deleted) in  

the LUG Gallery, and in Photo net I've posted in 2005 some poctures  

from my last visit to N.Y., in the LUG Gallery I have an album with  

vintage pictures: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/Vintage/,  

and also in in LFI Gallery http://tinyurl.com/c7h6h2d (please roll  

down and you will find about 18 pictures from the 80's or 90's).

 

Lately I have been not as usual as I want in the LUG, I'm tryng to  

organize my pictures and also I'm working on a new book project, Paris  

80's and 90's pictures, and it is a lot of work scanning etc..

 

Cheers and saludos cordiales to all

Lluis
