[Leica] Fishing Boat from the balcony

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hi Howard,

It's a nice shot taken with one of my favorite lenses. But mine is an  
AI and in perfect condition. I imagine living in Asia pacific is not  
too kind to the older lenses and even the newer ones. I only buy  
manual lenses for my D200 now. They don't make them that way anymore.

Cheers,
Len
