You make me feel sorry that I sold my 15 two years ago. I bought it  
together with a Bessa L in the philosophy of one camera one lens, but  
sold it pretty quickly thinking I wouldn't need it very much.

I particulary like 0042 and 0065. I just wonder if you tried some  
variants of the latter with your right hand on the telescope, since  
that might open up the composition and would probably integrate the  
lighthouse a bit more.

Thanks for showing,
Philippe
