Just visited the exhibition of her life & work at the Tate Britain, on Friday. The quality of her work and her eye for the essentials behind the story really stood out.

Make that the late 60's and I'm with you - by the 80's I had a family and had to grow up!

Totally agree, I prefer to favour individual images rather than 4 at a time, and it's only polite to name the model (unless of course they request to remain anonymous). Also please use their working/stage name rather than their name in real life.

Been debating switching to the Z8, but it's not a cheap option.

No, days of me opening a studio are long gone! The Leica was a result of my wife's uncle leaving his M4 and lenses to me when he died - I sold the body and bought the M9. Loved using it and some of my best images have been shot on it.

Very happy with my 85 1.4 (DSLR lens) so I'm sure that the Z series 1.2 version will be exceptional.

Yes, nikon for most of my photographic life from Nikkormat Ftn to my current D850. Did also have a Leica M9 for a while till the sensor failed.

Cool shot, especially as shot on the 1st digital camera in 1917. Bluesky does need an edit feature!
