Ric,
Thanks, mate. lol, that review is a classic! It really is a fantastic camera. A real joy to use. All the reviews that say it's heavy are spot on. I was a bit sore the following day after having carried it around all day in the city.

I was reading a review on this camera and one line really cracked me up by the reviewer.
"If you produce porridge from this camera, it's your fault"

Cheers, mate. I've got some Delta 3200, Portra and Ektar on its way.

I've cleaned off three Nikon film cameras this week and can't wait to bring them back into service.
Can't wait to see what we can do with a few rolls of Ilford Delta 3200.

Chris,
Interesting to note that you feel the image is flat. If you saw the original scan, /that/ looked flat. This has had contrast applied in varying degrees to try and make it a little 3D. Admittedly, I'm not a street photographer, but, didn't mind getting out there and having a go.
I guess what I do like about the image is the indifference in the pose of the guy on the left, the candid smile of the fellow in the middle, and the didgeridoo coming to the viewer. I also like the contrast between them and the city in the background.
I think I will have far greater success shooting posed static subjects/models. Either treet isn't for me, or, for me and this camera combination.

While attempting to type what I'm "thinking" I went back and looked at the photo again as something was bugging me.............again, to me, the image looks "flat". There's nothing creating a sense of perspective, maybe a shallower depth of field, camera lower to the ground, etc., etc........something to create more focus on the "performers".

Deeno,
Cheers, mate. When I was processing, I straightened the horizon but lost too much of the image on either side, so, left it at a diagonal. Let's call it dynamism?

Nice one H  |
Thanks, all, for looking and commenting.
