I positioned my babies near a veiled window so there was lots of light (for an indoor shot), then I shot handheld with a 50/2 (didn't need a Nocti - plenty of light). I also used a 90/2 on a tripod. Once, my nephew was asleep in Oma and Opa's big bed and, while it took several minutes to set up, I carted in a big Manfrotto and took a series of shots with M6 and Noctilux, wide open, 1 second exposures with a cable release. Everything was still and the focus was bang on. Upon visiting my sister's house these days, her friends often think the enlargement of one of these shots is a painting and not a photo. There is no crime in using a tripod with a fast Leica lens. Rick - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
