Gary, That shot from the barber shop is hilarious!
I hesitated to prefer one version of your Hungarian statue shot over the other but eventually I went with the first one.

Can anyone recommend a small flash (off camera) for my M240? I want to try some high key B&W street photography this summer. Kinda like Gilden (and some other Tokyo based street togs) but nowhere near as agressive. 
Does not need to be Leica brand either....

Slowly getting back in the groove. All with the M9 and Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5, which is a great lens aside from the so-so focus ring.

myam, I particularly like #3 and I note that the girl right of shot midground likes the fact that you took #2.
That camera and lens combo is one I used on holiday recently and I like how it performs. I agree with you regarding the focus ring, I much prefer tabs.

I think Gilden uses a Vivitar 285. You would probably need a couple of pocket wizards or equivalent to for it. IIRC there is no sync cord connection over than the hot shoe.

Thanks Allen. I will check it out.... Not sure I will go ahead with it - just thought it would be fun to try out.

Pocket wizards are a bit pricey. I use those for my larger strobes. But there are cheaper options that work on the same principle.Just make sure they have a sync cord option for the 285. and 285s can be had for a really good price now and they last forever.

...I also discovered recently that the M9 is totally usable at ISO 2,500 if you expose properly, especially in B&W, which I had been avoiding after reading reviews from people who clearly don't know what they're talking about (ISO 640 max??).
Don't know who claims that the maximum usable ISO with the M9 should be 640. However, Jim Kasson, on his "The Last Word" blog, has shown conclusively that, for shooting above ISO 640, the results are substantially better if you shoot at 640 and push in post-processing in Lightroom, rather than shooting at higher ISOs in-camera. Using this technique for night photography, I have pushed 3-4 stops in Lightroom, geting effective ISOs in the 5,000-10,000 range. On his blog, explains why he specifies to use Lightroom for this purpose, and the reason it's better than shooting at these high ISOs in-camera.

Thanks for the info, Mitch. Clearly, I have to experiment more. I've seen some banding before and want to avoid that at all costs.

Here is another one, with less contrast than my previous photos. The wind was pretty strong at this point, and hail reduced clarity quite significantly.
