I really like #8. The graffiti face seems to be looking down on the vendor's hand, and the composition seems contained and complete, as if we are seeing the stand owner's small world : all the cluttered goods, and the potential buyer looking from behind. And the photo is horizontal !

Super use of snap Christian. Quality and framing spot on. And you know what I like so much when using GXR style snap? You just keep pressed macro button and turn front wheel to change snap distance on the fly!

Very nice processing, I like the look and feel of the BW contrast particularly in 1,2 & 3

Thank you all for the kind feedback

I had just bought the lens and was wondering about the slow autofocus, so I took snap focus. I did not know this great tool what Riccadonna is talking about. Thanks Stanislaw!

You are welcome Christian. As you noticed that snap works with AF when you press shutter release in one go. If you do it t to fast you can shake camera at slow speed and sometimes camera starts to move lens to snap distance and doesn`t quite make it resulting in unsharp pict. I have assigned Fn1 button to M/AF function toggling to and fro. When on manual I have lens ring set the to distance setting where indicator shows INF, 5m, 3m , 1m. The in-between settings are not visible. There`s another way to use manual. You set in menu -shooting-focus-snap. Now, when pressing macro button and turning front wheel display in the right upper corner will show you following snap distances inf, 5m, 3,5m. 3m, 2,5m, 2m, 1,5m, 1m. Now you have manual snap distances but without AF which means that by pressing shutter release half way till first stop you are ready to take picture instantly. Maybe it sounds complicated but could be useful too. Ciao Stanislaw

Stanislaw, thanks for the summary! It's a bright idea using MF with Fn button! And so easy to adjust the focus with focus bar / focus ring. Very helpful, I would not have found out it so quickly
