Thanks for the bouquet Lluis.

The last occasion my wife and I visited your 
fascinating city was in the wintertime. Great low 
light! I used the early 35/1.4 'lux there too, 
and also a newly recoated and overhauled 50/1.5 
Summarit (thank you Malcolm Taylor).

The sequence starts here:

The Summarit also featured in shots from the 
first LHSA annual meet at Wetzlar, where I used a 
lot of other old glass. See:

Best of light.
