In fact, as I recall, people kindly stood out of the way when I was framing a photo. Likewise in a covered bazaar in the centre of Damascus. Images can be seen at http://jahudson.tripod.com/MiddleEast02.html All photos taken with an M3 using 35/1.4 Summilux, 50/1.5 Summarit, and 90/2.8 Elmarit on Kodachrome 25 or 64 and scanned about a year ago.
