JD - As usual, very nice stuff...and it looks like the 75 Color-Heliar is
very similar in "finger print" to the 50 Nokton - which is to say,
incredible lenses, particularly for the money.

For those of you who are interested, I have put up 20 pictures taken with
the above lens, which I think is something of a marvel. Why don't Leica make
it? All street photography, shot mostly wide open, showing what a nice focal
length this is for isolating a subject, but not losing the context.

The 20 pictures came from my first 4 rolls with this lens, on TMY instead of
my usual TX. I think they bed in nicely to the rest of the HUMAN TRAFFIC
project, which surprised me.

Whaddya think? Comments welcome.
