Ah ...

you're back. What settings did you use for these showy shots? Did you make it to the top?

Hi Knut ! The trip was great. What an amazing country. We climbed 5 different summits. I used AEL button, very practical on the G1 : aiming to the sky, AEL and reframing; sometimes, I used directly -0.7 IL. Seems that my scans are darker than the original slides, I'll have to fix that. I am a bit disappointed about 2 things : some cases of flare (despite the hoods) and the look of the sun when it's in the frame (5-branch star, not very elegant) But for the rest, Contax G is great : lightweight and accurate, and producing sharp shots.
