Hi,
nice shot, Boris.
Quite different from Frank's latest cyclist shots ;-)
Of course, it's a matter of training shotting without viewfinder. I've
been doing that for many years, starting with a Kodak Retina IIIc I got
from my grandfather. With it's leaf shutter, it's areal stealth camera.
One of my later enablements is a waist level finder for my LX, it's not
very good for precise focussing from the hip, but it works great for the
rough framing. As a former woodworker, I've still got some practice in
estimating lengths and distances - very useful in photography, now.
One of the many reasons why I still don't see a real alternative to the LX.

Hi!
Nice scene, however, using the viewfinder would have allowed for a better
composition. Glad you're having fun with your "belly cam."
Shel, one of the things I want to learn is to be able to aim my camera
with a reasonable precision without looking in the viewfinder. I've done
it few time with my daughter, but those photos will remain in our family
album ;-)...
This focal length seems quite right and even with FOV(1.5) applied, it
is less demanding than say, 50 mm.
I must admit, I so much like my 43 Lim, that I am thinking of selling
both 50/1.4 and FA 50/1.7...
