Image made in Ireland but can't remember the town. It was taking without aiming and its a full frame Used the Lecia M6 35 summicron lens RDP For this type images is best to be stealthy !!!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Ha ha!! I wonder what he is pounding down! Never been there but my Mom moved here from Ireland when she was 13. She passed away last year and I had asked her many times before she died if she wanted to go back but I was never successful. One day I want to go see the place!

Nice post, thanks!!

Nice catch, Al! A heckuva job to get a nice balanced shot on the fly. Well done!

The equipment sounds interesting. Is is small enough to stick in a large pocket of a coat? Film?

Hi Alfred,
Looks like a couple of Guiness on the ground too! Looks like one of the gentlemen on the bench is looking at him while the other is diliberately looking away. Remind me not to have a beer when you're around! :eek:

Harold the Leica will fit just about anywhere The M6 was film There is a digital ( M8) looks just like it rangefinder and all but it has a crop factor. For me it ruins the camera.

I think the strongest part of the system are the lenses. Would be lost with the different focal lengths !!!
