When I was in Bolivia last month, I shot some pictures with the C5050 set to
the exact settings of Wrotniak's recommendations, for shooting like a Le*ca.
The only difference was that I used MyModes 1-4, and I think he used 5-8,
which of course would make no difference in picture quality. I would
recommend anyone try them out in actual experience before they depend on
them much, as I was quite disappointed by most of the shots taken that way.
I got very few acceptable shots using those pre-sets at hyperfocal
distances. Thankfully I didn't use it too much. In the future, I might try
setting them for a bit more DOF.
The mission in Canada that makes the radios we gave away used 4 pictures
that I took in Bolivia with the C5050, in their most recent publication. It
is in a printed version only though, not online. Their website can be found
here www.galcom.org . The pictures on their website are not mine. I wouldn't
claim responsibility for those ones :-)
