I usually do not post pro work here but a few from an event I shot recently. This show the M 10s low light capabilities. All were at 12500 ISO (M 10 35 Lux FLE}
On a recent visit to Washington D.C, I decided to make it a one camera/one lens affair--Leica SL/ZM 35 f/1.4. The combo was fantastic and so much fun to use.
Sorry I haven't been able to post much. We've been swamped at work prepping for our launch in a couple weeks, and on top of that I managed to get sick! Gross.
I love seeing the variety of content posted here. Great work everyone!
Guys, quick question... Is it me or do I find that focusing through a rangefinder better with both eyes open is better?
I just recently started using my 50mm at 1.4 and it was really tough to nail focus until I miraculously tried to focus with both of my eyes open...
What an eye opener! I nail 99% of my shots now, even at f/1.4!
No you're not alone in that respect. Personally I think rangefinders were designed to shoot with both eyes open (unless you're a left-eye dominant shooter). There's something about the way the framelines get projected into your peripheral vision that makes it really easy to focus and compose.
Although to be honest I try to do most of my focusing before I lift the camera to my eye and just fine-tune it real quick once it's there.
Another "no finder shot": with 28 and 21 mm lenses, I find it relatively easy to get the framing I want by holding the camera at chest level — very hard with the smaller FOV and lower depth of field of 35 and 50 mm lenses. When you have the camera at your eye the viewpoint is often too hight, but bending your knees to get lower while walking is difficult and would instantly have the subjects looking at you — even just stopping to take the shot would have the same effect.
