I spotted two characters dressed as Klingons hanging around outside (well you couldn't miss them really!). They agreed to have their photo taken - the result can be seen at http://www.leica-gallery.net/mark-pope/image-34799.html . This shot convince me just how good the 50mm Summicron (latest) is. This shot has been cropped and I made a version of this print on 9.5" x 12" paper, which would full-frame would be bigger than 12"x16" and boy does it have some detail in it! Shooting at 1/1000 at f4 helped too - so no camera shake and the lens at or near its best aperture. Comments or criticism on or off-list will be appreciated.
