Tim, There have been two opinions on this shot. The first is shared by you and a number of others--too symmetric, too centered, etc. I agree that the center position of the door breaks the classic rules that address off-center subjects, placing points of interest at power points in the

Hi I have 4 cameras, a Leica, an LX, a Z1p and my new *istDS. I shoot a lot of club activity and for that I use the Leica with Ilford 3200 film, I also have taken along my LX with Fuji Press 800 film. I usually shoot a roll of each during a set. Most recently I have been experimenting with

The DS allows wireless control of the AF360FGZ but not with the built- in flash ... it takes two of the FGZ flash units to do the communications. The D's builtin flash can control the FGZ. I'd forgotten about this as I use flash so infrequently. When I use flash, I use a Sunpak 383, which

When I was shooting 67's and having the film processed and proofed at my local wedding lab, the total cost of film/develop/proof was about $1.35 per frame. Certainly not too cheap. The other problem around here was that labs all switched over to digital equipment, so even though my lab had all

This may be a naive question, but why do you change to the Leica when the lighting is extremely bad at concerts? What I have noticed is that my DS has problems when the light is very red. Is this what you refer to when saying this, and does the Leica Fuji press handle this differently? Tim
