I didn't have the attention span to make it past the first page of your 300. A few months ago I was in London walking down Oxford street near Marble Arch. I had my M3 with Tmax 400. Using a 50mm Summicron, I put the camera to my eye and took the one picture ;-) Made editing easier. http://robsteve.com/LUG/WaitingForThe-Light.jpg Actually, I took two at that corner. http://robsteve.com/LUG/MarbleArch.jpg I also had the M7 with 24mm. This is what I got with the 24mm. I saw her coming with the hat and quickly put the camera to my eye and follow focused as we came together. By coincidence, the 500 Oxford sign matched her hat. http://robsteve.com/LUG/OxfordSt.jpg I admit taking a bunch with the M7, looking for a good shot of somebody hanging out of a red London Bus. Never did get one I liked.
