For street work in film, a Rollei 35S (scale focus ... use zones) was a great with its 40mm lens. I also used to use a Leica CL, the Summicron-C 40mm f/2 is a superb performer. That is, when I wasn't shooting with the Nikon or Leica M or ... etc. Nowadays, a Panasonic G1 with Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 is the piece for streety stuff. Although I did the last piece shown on my blog with the E-1 and 35mm f/3.5 Macro lens. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
