Shel,
One thought I had was to take a multi exposure or perhaps just cover
the lens while
I'd rather stay an amateur too. And refrain from doing action photography,
BTW.
I was just making a point: Action photography requires fast lenses (and
perhaps a fast camera body :-).
And they are quite expensive.

It's not really a lot of money, if you want to make a living from sports

Nice images regardless of the means producing SF.
The real SF images are a tad too soft IMHO. Still good though.

I'd like to get my LX back in proper working
condition. It does fine most of the time, but if it
gets cold (such as being left in the car), the mirror
starts moving slow causing the winder to have a fit
when it can't advance the film when it thinks it can.
(see discussion from a couple weeks ago:
Also, with a zoom lens, try a slow shutter while zooming the lens - wide to
narrow narrow to wide
This zooming could also be combined with a multi exposure - a different
focal length @ each exposure.

Boris, when I was desperate to get the DA 14 (when it was
available in Europe months before the U.S.) I looked into this
company. They weren't able to get the lens either, but they

I think I agree with Bill: I prefer the BW rendering, but I think it
needs more work. It's a bit lacking in the subtlety ... the color
version's colors present a lot of subtlety that you need to re-
express in monochrome values by shaping the rendering selectively.
