I was out walking yesterday in the old city part of Shanghai when I found the coolest tiny house. In the doorway were a few cats, all relaxing and friendly looking. I raised my GF670W for a snap when I found the meter was dead. Nothing in the viewfinder at all. DAMN! Battery dead. One thing I hate about these cameras is the total lack of warning that a battery is dying. You'd think for 3 grand they could put some kind of indicator in there. Not only were there two cats looking all cool, behind them was an entire family, about 8 more cats!! What a scene. But I had no battery so I walked further, found a place to sit down and pulled the battery from my GF670 and put it into my GF670W. I returned to the house with the cats but they were all scattered, scene gone. Sigh................
Similar thing happened to me last night, except instead of a dead battery, it was the end of the film canister and I didn't have another roll. Heck of a good sunset and I had already shot my last frame.
Very nice aqueduct capture!

Tom, one day I am going to have to visit Shangai. I really enjoy living vicariously through your spectacular images.
Some great images on page 539 from almost everyone particularly love the 35mm Velvia images from Jako
A few images from London taken with a Rolleicord Vb using self developed Ektar100. Scanned in with a Coolscan 9000.
I was shooting almost wide open to isolate the subjects and pixel peeping reveals how weak the Tessar is at f4 - it is great at f8 and above. My Rolleiflex GX has spoiled me I think... still using the Rolleicord was fun.
