Lots of atmosphere here, and I really like that dark sky to add to the moodiness.

B&W is definitely a good choice for this particular composition.

wonderful street scene, a really nice range of contrast. It would be nice if there was a strong focal point.

The tones in this photo are outstanding. The entire scene is quite appealing, and I like the affect the wet cobbles...they add light to the photograph.

Looks like a lovely gray wet European day. Very nice lines to the shot, well composed, and I like the recurring spheres/circles in the shot.

i can almost hear the footsteps and raindrops - a quiet and introspective image - the absense of people in the main section of the image actually enhances the interest

btw how do you like the zeiss 50 1.4?
i'm looking into buying a fast 50mm lens soon, and i've heard good things about that lens, the only thing that hinders me of getting it immediately is its price...

Well about the price, a friend of mine bought it from b&h in new york and with the current exchange rate (and the insane difference in camera/lens pricing between us & europe) it cost me about 50euro more that then nikon (although i could still by the nikon at half the price :) )

I do like the lens. at first I thought I'd have a problem with manual focus (compared to the nikon 85 1.8) but it's much more easier than that. the focus ring rotates more than 200* (more than half a round anyway) with marks from .45m to 10m & inf compared to just 90* of the Nikon 85. I've not run at test (never do) just some shots at some text in different apertures and I liked the result :)

Another tricky thing is the aperture ring which rotates at a half stop increments but the aperture display in the body (d200) only shows full stop increments and I don't know if it's just a display thing or it just rounds it up at a full stop (probably should shoot some tests on this but I have a thing about full stop apertures so I haven't tried it yet).

Other than that the body is solid build, all metal and the provided hood has a material similar to that of the interior of the body which collects dust to protect the lens itself. Little things, I know, but all else I think you can find them in the online reviews. If you want to ask anything else just pm.

Oh, yeah .. there's a guy at the back walking towards me :)

This is so well suited to black and white. There is so much to see in this images, I could easily spend an hour or two here. Love the fat little chef statue!
