[Leica] Don's PAW week 38 back in the airport

[don.dory at gmail.com (Don Dory)]

Luis,
Oh, I don't think youi have too many 50's. If you like a little softer look,
try using an uncoated Summitar.  They are not too expensive and can provide
a lovely look as long as you don't include bright lights in the frame.  Or,
pick up a Canon 50mm F1.4.  The Canon has a quite wonderful rendition
especially wider than 5.6.  So in your bright landscape perhaps some FP4 in
Rodinal.
