Steve\n\n\n Hi Bajanexile, the advantages of the Monochrom are much more detail to the files and also the files are much more pliable in lightroom except for the hi lights if the hi light is blown its not recoverable unlike a colour converted file where you can usually recover one of the red green or blue channels as usually not all of those channels will be blown. Hope this helps.

Nice B&W Paul. Displaying my ignorance, what are the advantages of the M MONOCHROM VS the conversion of a Colour File to B&W? Steve

Do you have to use an external VF?\n\n\n Hi Vaperture, the Zeiss Distagon 15mm is not rangefinder coupled for focus so you just have to guess but with such a wide angle its not really necessary only on subjects less than 7ft and then only if you're shooting wide open at f2.8 as everything will be in focus from 1ft to infinity if you set the lens to say f8. All of the photo's in my profile shot with this lens have been taken without a tripod and without the 15mm finder I only use the finder for people shots. Hope this helps, by the way I love this lens and could shoot all day and every day with it its such a first class and interesting lens to work with. ;-)

Hi Paul, what's it like focusing a wide angle lens on a rangefinder? Do you have to use an external VF?

There is a plate near the trees which says that they are 6000 yrs old. I checked in the net and it was indeed so. see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisters_Olive_Trees_of_Noah

This olive tree is about 800-1000 years old at a glance and may be even older.Great find!

Really one of the best images I've seen on ZI. Compositon, choice of aperture. (f 2 wouldn't work here, but many purists would have done it anyway). Colors are perfect. Very good work.

I believe your mistaken on the scale. The balloon must actually be small and close to the photographer, hence the out of focus background.
