NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m really liking the results that I’m getting from the Noctilux and the LeiCA M9. Life is good. I took a walk in the financial district in the morning, went to a rehearsal of the James Beard Foundation awards in the afternoon, and to the awards and a gala in the evening. I’m posting a mini-gallery of the day.
On this day one year ago: This again. I’m so embarrassed. I took the same picture on April 15 this year. Spring is running three weeks early in 2012.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’ve given up trying to make my Noctilux work with my Sony Nex-7. Back to the drawing board – this time with my Leica M9.I spent an our making a minor adjustment to infinity focus on the M9 – it had gotten slightly out of whack. I expected the worse. I’ve been having trouble using the split image rangefinder because my right eye, my shooting eye, has gotten fairly astigmatic. So I switched to shooting with my left eye. Bottom line – focus is right on. I’m having no trouble focusing the lens on the M9 at f.95. Here are some samples:
On this day last year: anti foie gras protesters. No kidding.
