thanks for sharing these images. They look fantastic, and I personally like seeing the S being used for reportage/documentary.
I love the look of the 120 mm wide open and I think this approach gives the series a very distinctive look. Very interesting! I must say I find it very brave to use the lens like this, I would probably resort to f4.0 just to be on the safe side with focus …
Anyway, I think your choice for large aperture works really well. Was 1/4000 short enough, or did you have to use ND’s?

Thanks again, wonderful images of a very interesting place with beautiful people!

Thanks Peter. I think the S is really build for doing every job and that was my main reason to choose the S over any other MF camera. Take a look at the attached picture my wife took with a D-Lux. That was while shooting with the Monochrome and the S was more or less between my legs in the sand. Does it do any harm? Nope.

I was fine with 1/4000th. But we have been there very early and it was partly cloudy. So perfect conditions.
