Subject: [Leica] I ran out of Speed... Lust List!

I was inside Hearst Castle.  Christmas decorations all over the main
rooms......  Light streaming in, but the rooms are huge... and the windows
pretty small.

I used the 21 ASPH Elmarit-M.... and at F2.8,  color, ASA 400 ( film..... no
M8 here), I needed 1/4 of a second.  I took the shot ( if you don't, you
KNOW it will not come out...).  Negs await processing.

But I sure would have liked to use the 21 ASPH F1.4.........    That would
have gotten me to 1/15 of a second..... a LOT easier to hand hold......

If I had been traveling with ASA800 film, I would have picked up 1
stop......but I wasn't......  No flash allowed, ditto the monopod/tripod
thingie......

But for that once in a blue moon, I don't have an additional $5K for a
lens......never mind the additional weight.......
Put another one on my lust list......
