OK, picked up the R4M and the 25/4. Burned a roll of Tri-X at approx. 640 and ran it plus 1 1/2 in X-Tol. I&#039;ve got some issues with the meter ... mine seems to simply blink helplessly at 1/2 ad 1 sec. I find that annoying since it reads at 1/4 sec ... but whatever on that for now. <br /><br />It was gloomy and October like all day in NYC. Here are some attached jpegs showing what it feels like getting to work. #35 is along the lines of what I&#039;d like to explore with this lens ... both under and above ground.<br />

Close and wide, great stuff. My favorite is #2, but 1 works for me as well. Is that flare in the third?

Yep, that&#039;s some flair from a very close open bank of flouresent lights ... not terribly surprising. So worked through another roll ... this one pushed an additional 1/2 stop @ 800 and run +2 in X-Tol. I&#039;m doing this only because I&#039;m drifting in and out of low-light to daylight situations. Once I settle in, I&#039;ll stry and stick to one or the other and definitely shoot more normal ASA + processing combinations outside. For now, I&#039;m loving this camera! (although having a bit of trouble getting used to the meter). Have a look:<br />

oops ... forgot the attachments!<br /><br />

Good stuff.&nbsp; <br /><br />I took my kids to the zoo today, which involves a 30m ride on the metro, so I had a good chance to use my 21/4&nbsp; ;D

alright, well, I look forward to seeing some. I&#039;m taking the next week off to hang with family. Post Labor-Day starts a big push into the fall business crunch for LightsidePS.com and we could all use the break. However, based on the early results of the R4M and 24/4,&nbsp; I&#039;m already excited to get back to the city and continue shooting!
