[Leica] Nathan's PAD 16/10/2014: the anti-wrinkle lens

[Jim Nichols]

The portrait of your brother-in-law is outstanding.  In his case the 
crows-feet at the eyes just add to his appearance.  Congrats to you both.

I have a Summitar, the forerunner of your Summicron, and it also 
produces fine images.  The early fifties were good times for Leica.
