    Russ – I know… I’ll be unstoppable! First I’ll need to add another 10 stops to my ND filter so I can actually shoot the camera.

    Very nice results. Will it fit my Nikon V1? The M Monochrom and that lens would be a killer combo. ISO 12K at f.95, wow.

    Thanks Russ. Most are wide open at f/0.95 occasionally I remember to stop down but usually forget.

    Nice collection Dave. How wide open are you shooting those wide aperture night shots? So little depth of field in some of those pix like the girl at Hachiko. Clearly auto-focus is overrated.

    Thanks Randy. I actually love center focus a lot of the time. It can make for very interesting photographs.

    A fantastic, beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing your work.

    I’m so used to people around me (without skills of their own) criticizing anything and everything… I can just hear them ragging on the compositions that are aligned in the center.

    I just love them! Symmetry is glorious… focusing attention in the center is glorious. Stanley Kubrick does it a *lot*! Ignore the critics… They’re just jealous. These images are beautiful.

    It is so nice to see such random use of a camera stimulate its natural performance. Very Good

    I don’t think my lightmeter goes down to f/0.95 ^_^

    BTW I want that Charmander figurine.

    Thanks Claire… I strive for this a bit but no one has ever comment on it. Thanks for noticing…
