Seriously, I have to say that if I have learned to love from a distance any specific lens while hanging out with y'all on the LUG, it's the 75 Summicron. It's the only lens I can usually ID in advance of looking to see what lens is at work, it has, to my eye, such a distinctive look. I used to have fantasies of fame and glory and sex but now all I fantasize is standing in a shop in NYC that doesn't exist anymore, but I remember it, it sold Leica's exclusively I believe, it was a guy's name, and it's still around on the internet I believe -- I'm standing in that shop and buying, all at once, an MP, an M9, a Tri-Elmar, a 35 Summicron, and a 75 Summicron. No further joys are needed. Just to see those pictures for the rest of my days.... Great picture. And boy is it sharp. I urge everyone to check out the wee shadows under the raised tires of the bikes. Is everyone in London really that pink by the way? Or does Adobe know to make Englishmen look that way when processing from raw?
