Thanks Richard. The aquarium has done a superb job of presenting the jellyfish exhibit. The illumination is both tasteful and effective, making it a pleasure to view and photograph. All the best, Keith

Great read as always, love the images of the jellyfish

Thanks for all your encouragement Dirk. As you can see, I am very much enjoying the rangefinder world! Looking forward to your next visit! Cheers, Keith

Thanks Josh. Yes, once you have used a rangefinder system for a while, focusing becomes second nature. Then, those small lenses and compact bodies come into their own. It really is a beautiful way to take photographs. All the best! Keith

this is a beautiful story of a conquest to travel only light. It works for sure and one will miss some shots as well. But what’s the problem with some missed shots. There is none. The image quality speaks for itself.
Traveling light has many benefits. We have done that experiment on our first Florida trip after the pandemic and it worked well.
Hope to see You in August.
Greets Dirk

Hyped to see M240 in action! I’m on M240 + 35/2 + 90/4 as my travel kit and it’s SO convenient. Fits in a 3L crossbody with ease, and no question of which lens suits the task at hand. Really keeps the mind free to explore other ideas.

Nice shots ✌️

Hi Jörg-Peter, many thanks! I am not sure I would take this kit on a multi-week trip to the other side of the world, but for short trips and long weekends, it’s hard to beat – for both fun and quality of images. Cheers, Keith

Hi Jon, yes, I know it well. We crossed Skyline on our way to SFO, but did not have time to sightsee on this occasion. I have lived in the Bay Area several times, and driven along Skyline many times. We drove along 17 on our outbound trip to Monterey vis Santa Cruz – a scary road! A few years ago I climbed Old La Honda Road on my bike. It was brutal. Must be around 1,000ft of climbing. Serious work out! Cheers, Keith

Hi Stig, many thanks! Yes, guilty – definitely a set of touristy photos! Fascinating to hear that your lens selection is shifted to slightly longer focal lengths than mine. Based upon comments made on previous articles, it seems most M-shooters anchor their lens collection on either 50mm (as you have) or 35mm (as I have) and then add a longer and shorter focal length accordingly. I am very happy with my 21mm, 35mm, and 75mm spread, but sometimes wonder what it would be like to shoot regularly at 50mm. On a different topic, where do you come from? My mother’s family name is Otteson (although the spelling might have been different originally), derived from a great, great, grandfather from the Island of Bornholm, in Denmark. All the best, Keith
