Among Friends Part 2

Harm's Way │ Ricoh GXR Mount A12 + Voigtländer 35mm F1.2 │ 35mm F2.0 1/75s ISO3200
This is the second part of the post about the evening I spent with my friends and fellow bloggers in London. I thought I'd wait until I got back home to post more photos since publishing posts from my iPad is somewhat cumbersome. But back to my friends: Cristian and Kesh are not only fun to spend an evening with, they're also both talented photographers You can click on their names to check out their blogs. I haven't forgotten you either, Sam; it was a great that you could make it as well and not only your for your patience while posing for test photos.
As I already mentioned, I had a chance to try out Cristian's Ricoh GXR Mount A12 with the Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2 on it. I only managed to get about half of my shots acceptably sharp. Needless to say, I was pushing the limits of the GXR, trying to manually focus the Voigtländer wide open at the the maximum sensitivity. My lack of familiarity with Ricoh's innovative peaking mode probably also led to some errors of judgment on my part.
The top row of photos was taken with my RX1, the bottom with Cristian's Ricoh GXR Mount A12 and Voigtländer 35mm F1.2 lens.
