Oh, well. :) I may try this style once I get my 28/2 Summicron-M ASPH in the fall (oh please don't let me down, Photokina! :)). My attempts to hip shoot with the 50 haven't been all that successful. > So how's the B&W darkroom work going? Photographers shouldn't be out > in the sun, anyway.

I've been shooting slides lately (Kodachrome 25, Velvia, Provia-F) and have discovered a whole new world in color. It seems to suit the sunny summer days. I'm looking forward to seeing the latest results with the new Polarizer. Regards, Dan
