Subject: [Leica] CLA for 1952 5cm f/3.5 Elmar

I recently had my old 3.5 Elmar cleaned by Essex Camera in NJ.  They did a
nice job at a fair price and turnaround was only a couple of weeks.
 Saturday I had a chance to try it out at a child's birthday party, using a
IIIc.  First time I've shot film in a couple of years so it felt a little
strange, but I liked the pictures.

Here's Emmett, the birthday boy:

And here are a couple of his young lady friends.

Both shots were f/3.5 at 1/40.  Prints of both were gorgeous and reminded me
why the Elmar is a favorite of mine.
