This afternoon I was at Stade de France here in Paris for the France v Canada rugby game (sorry Ted/Robert, Canada lost!). I shot most of a roll of film with the 21 - I decided to go for 'atmosphere' shots as I was way too far from the action for anything else. The negs are drying as I type.

My pictures for week 47 have little in common other than they were all taken with my newly acquired Voigtlander 21mm lens. I have previously owned their 50mm and found it wanting, but this one I am really pleased with. The first four pictures are all from Zurich and environs and all taken with the Leica M6, 21mm Voigtlander Color Skopar lens on Fuji Acros. First, Andy's Tierhüüsli pet shop. Andy was a tram driver for 35 years before deciding to quit that and open a pet shop in Zurich's Langstrasse area. His dog serves as marketing director: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_47.jpg Rathausbrücke is one of several bridges across the Limmat river in the old city: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_47alt1.jpg A fountain on Helvetiaplatz in Zurich, also near Langstrasse: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_47alt2.jpg The shore of Lake Zurich in Feldmeilen, a small town about 2 km from my house: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_47alt3.jpg The last picture was not actually taken in week 47, but a couple of weeks earlier. It is the very first picture I took with the 21mm lens after buying it at my favourite Leica shop, RG Lewis in London: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_47alt4.jpg (film: Fuji Press 800) Despite all the Minolta signs, the heart of this shop is Leica (note the street signs from Wetzlar/Solms), and the glass cases are full of various Leica goodies, from old LTMs to M6s and M7s. This is one of those shops where I am willing to pay a little more than mail order just for the service and the pleasure of a chat with the gentleman you see in the picture. The complete PAW index is at: http://www.wajsman.com/indexpaw2002.htm and comments/critique are welcome and appreciated as always.
