Thanks Bruce
On #9, I do think I missed the Decisive Moment. Dude got a call on his
mobile a moment after I took the shot

While it's always fun going out with new gear, I definitely notice a
productivity hit when I do. Not that I'm complaining, trying new things is
fun. I just come back with less bang per click.
The Aussie Dollar is on a slippery slope back to its natural place in the
world, but there are still some local stockists holding inventory at bargain
prices. The Sigma 35mm 1.4 is a very attractive looking lens. It has this
odd thing where the focusing scale goes from 0.3m to 1m for most of the
focus throw, and then a tiny movement from 1m to infinity. It isn't a macro,
so I wonder why they did that. The Voigtlander 17.5 0.95 does the same
thing. Still, the HSM is really "S", quieter than the Pentax SDM, I think.
Very well damped manual focusing feel. I like it much more than the just-ok
30mm 1.4. The next lenses in the Art series should prove interesting.

And for a bit of retro, I picked up a pristine Minolta CLE. The wee bugger
is beautiful, no wonder they didn't let it last long. It is a shame the
shutter sound is rather loud; I was definitely clocked more than I normally
am. On the last few rolls of Neopan too. Should do one more last time buy.
