G2 + Speed - Peter S

Trying to capture the moment. These kind of shots are so much easier to get with digital. But then I could not use 21mm....I will keep trying. Vignetting is from using two filters (yellow + UV) - 1 too many on the 21mm. Other version: http://contaxg.com/document.php?id=35896 (APX 100)

great capture man! but WHY 2 filters? surely theres no need for a UV filter with BW film at all? and certainly never if using a yellow??

Thank you, Ibraar! using a UV filter is just a habit of mine for protecting the lens - but you are right, with a yellow filter this is redundant. My yellow filter was actually much cheaper than the UV.... Cheers! Peter
