I particularly like how the yellows in this stand out and give a structure to the image. Nicely done.

Hey, Howard. I couldn`t help but to do some reading on this camera. Very interesting. This is the first time I see an image taken with it. Did you do any processing on it? I like the color and the organic feel here. Seams like the optics are very good.

@Nataly: Damn good camera. It uses an APS sized chip almost the same to a Nikon D70. It is a digital rangefinder with a film advance lever and needle gauges, you can't take the next show without cranking the lever, forces you to remember that you're doing photography but not shooting from the hip. I keep editing to a minimal because I don't know squat about Photoshopping or RAW workflow. And secondly, the jpeg out of the camera is good enough if you mount a good lens on it. It's a Leica M-Mount camera, so any of the old thread mount+adapter is good, or any of the Leica lens is good. I like Cosina-Voigtlander so I have a collection of CV Nokton lenses. I used a 35/1.4 for these shots.

I could help but to notice Nataly's comment and i just had to look up that camera also. I've been collecting a bunch of cameras lately. I must say the colors in this shot are amazing as well as the background bokeh. Love it.

@Brian Chen: Thanks Brian. 99% of the lens that can fit on a Leica will work with on this camera, so the range is incredible.
