[Leica] IMG: Three More from the Fujinon Pancake Lens

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for looking and commenting, George.  The feel of the kit reminds 
me of the Leica IIIa with which I started out, in 1952.  The only 
problem, aside from the occasional desire for a longer lens, is that the 
EVF darkens down in very bright light.  There is an adjustment, but that 
makes it too bright in other situations, so I just compromise.

I have already been asked, by a knowledgeable individual, if I was 
shooting 35mm film.  To me, that is the ultimate proof of anonymity.

The streaks on the canopy are a protective plastic covering.  This was shot from the shadow side, against sunlight coming in the hangar door.  I was impressed with the detail.
