[Leica] Summer fun at the Zen Cafe

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Hi Luggers,
I have been off Pender Island for three weeks now participating in my  
daughter's wedding (thank you) and then recovering from same.
This has given me the opportunity to join the camera crowd at the Zen  
Cafe on Friday mornings three weeks in a row and here are a few  
pictures of the summer fun.
First, here's Henning trying out his 400mm Telyt on the Pana G1 -  
where the lens turns into the equivalent of 800mm. Hard for me to hand  
hold and slide focus at the same time - but not impossible.

Then here are a series of pictures of the 50mm Nokton f1.1 and the  
Noctilux 50mm f 1.0. Henning has borrowed Tom A's f1.1 50mm Nokton and  
is going to do a comparo.

And finally here is a picture of Rick taken with the Nokton 50mm f1.1  
on my M8 - one in colour and then processed to B&W in Photoshop.

The Nokton depth of field is too razor narrow for consistent accurate  
focussing with my older eyes - but I do like the bokah. I think I will  
stay with my 50 lux Asph.
It is bought and paid for!

All C&C welcome as always

Cheers
Howard (heading back to the island on Sunday)
