[Leica] New Photos

Hoppy,

thanks for the look and comment.  Yes it is a full frame from the M8 with 
only a slight tweek for WB for the mixed light, I find the AWB works pretty 
good on my M8, the lens is a pre-asph 35 Summilux, one of the Titanium 
versions, I got it about a year and a half ago when out in So. Cal.  It is a 
real nice lens and very compact, unlike the new asph version.  It is also my 
widest lens, so I need a 24 or somthing for the M8 now to regain my WA 
views.  ;-)  I am still learning this digital stuff, my D200 gets more use 
from my wife than me, and I find the M8 less intimidating compared to the 
D200.  I have signed up for the M8 workshop in Chicago next week in hope of 
learning more on how to use C1 in DNG etc.  Software an I do not get along 
very well, so I hope the workshop will cover some hints on doing this.  As 
to the M8, glad I got it, a real slick image maker.
