Although I met him photographically far later than almost everyone on the LUG, he and his work were everything that has been expressed here and then some. I met Steve in person last Spring at the LHSA Spring Shoot in Annapolis where he was my "tour guide" of the town and the Naval Academy. Engaging, humorous, not inclined to suffer fools lightly and a huge fount of knowledge and experience to all of us, he will be grievously missed. In response to the question as to Steve's favorite lens, I agree with Don Dory's answer. Within the last few weeks following my comments about the 35/2,8 Summaron, Steve wrote me the following: Hello Seth: I am a big fan of the Summaron 35. I use to have the 35/3.5 in my early Leica years. Currently I have the rare 35/2.8 in ltm mount. Both lenses produce wonderful images. The 'warmth' from these lenses is in stark contrast to current ASPH 35 lenses which seem to produce a 'harshness' that I do not care for. Steve LeHuray I can't believe he's gone. Carpe diem.
