p.1 #1 · Utah Eagles


Playing around this morning with my Leica SL2 by adapting my old Canon 600/4.0 onto it with the 1.4x APO teleconverter. Today was more about seeing how the combo worked than grabbing anything that good. But despite rainy, overcast skies I got quite a few shots. Most taken relying on the AF of the camera shooting at around ISO 1600 most of the time. Most of the shots I was getting away with a shutter speed between 1/320-1/640 as I pushed my luck in the low light.

Just a sampling of shots as I did a quick review of things when I got home.

The first is a stunner James. You used the soft light well

Thanks Morris.

The area is bad for shooting since it never get's direct light. It's close to my house but for years I've avoided shooting there. With some newer bodies finally that produce better high ISO work I feel more comfortable shooting here.

Looks like the combo is working very well on the static subjects. Nice and clean and sharp and colorful!

Pretty much high ISO is fine as long as exposed properly and not a large crop
