Street Shooting in Balboa with the M9!

Today I spent an hour or so photographing an (unfortunately) fairly empty Balboa Park. This is the first time I have really worked the M9 hard, and it acted EXACTLY like a Leica film M. I set 125th @ 400 ISO and worked the aperture ring with my trigger finger as I shot and it worked out beautifully. There is adequate latitude for exposure due to the range captured by the sensor, which seems to be slightly more picky than E-6 slide negs! All of these were either shot with a 25mm Voigtlander Skopar or a 40mm Leitz Summicron.

After Balboa Park I met my parents and their friends for dinner, at the post office I picked up the Zeiss Biogon that came in the mail for me today. It's tack sharp. This was shot hand held: 25th @ F2, 400 ISO
