Ryan, Daniel, Joe, Luka and Joakim.... Thanks a lot
Ryan, yes Carsten and Joe were right....it was the 50 Lux Asph, my favourite, except for Daniel\'s 75 Cron AA
Daniel, all my files are worked in proPhoto RGB in CS5, but then converted in 3 stages for web presentation 3000/2000/1024px with mild sharpening in all stages, all in sRGB colour space. This is meant to alleviate any problems with viewing on the web. Even with this sometimes IE 8 has issues with colour management, having none. This may have more to do with other colour management programs running concurrently on the computer. IE 9 will have 64 bit version and is meant to be colour management, so there should not be any conflicts viewing in IE 9, while running other programs on the computer. FF/ Safari and even Chrome have less issues!
Adam, I have the SF58 flash unit, and my reasoning was if I needed flash, rarely that I do with the faster lenses, that I needed a unit that had TTL metering and bounce controllablity. Have a look at Reids review on the SF58 If you opting for a smaller flash such as the SF24, I would go for a generic flash such as Metz, and run A or M. The SF24 does not work with the M9\'s TTL metering, just Auto. From what I have read there have been a few issues with the SF 24 flash not working well with the M9. Correct me if I am wrong though! I do understand John\'s veiwpoint too, it may be too large. For me, it is a love/hate relationship with flashes. If I go too small and inflexible flash, the shots look like the stunned rabbit, and if I put up with larger size, I do get the wonderful lighting and shots, but I have to put up with the size!
John, very nice shot!!! There is a feeling amongst some that the 35 Lux Asph I is better from a rendering view point. Interesting discussions so far in a number of forums! For considerably less dollars the chrome or titanium version 35 Lux I is being sought after.
Joakim, nice shots! Must be the 50 Lux with the smooth rendering
