Nice action shots in tricky light.  Lots about your elections on the news
here in UK but nice to see the pictures.  Is this the 'new' 135mm lens
(f/3.4 ASPH) ?  My dealer advised me not to buy it for the M8 as the
rangefinder would be inaccurate.  But you have done fine.
Best wishes,

Matthew

Hello everyone.  I went to an Obama Town Hall last week.  Here is a  
small gallery of photos:

M8, 135mm APO-Telyt-M, f/5.6 for most shots.

By the way, on the Obama shots I was almost directly in the sun, and  
there is lots of flare on the raw files.  Converting to B&W (L1000271)  
seems to work for that problem.  For the color shots I adjusted the  
exposure and range in iPhoto.

Regards,
Bob Rose
