[Leica] IMG: Airport Activity

[Jim Nichols]

Nathan's 35mm acquisition prompted me to try the only compatible 35 that 
I own on the X-E1, a Leica Summaron 35/3.5 LTM purchased from a former 
LUG member.  I like the framing, but, consistent with my past 
experience, focusing of WA lenses on the X-E1 is painful.  Most was done 
using zone focusing.  This lens has excellent scales nicely engraved.

A group of passengers had just arrived when they spied a tandem jump 
pair about to land.  They all stopped to look and comment.

Their plane, a Cessna turboprop, required fuel, so the fuel truck 
arrived in short order.

The attendant had to stand on tiptoes to reach the tanks, but did her 
usual professional job with the fueling.

And, as I was leaving, the locally-based Vanderbilt Medical Center 
LifeFlight helicopter left on an assignment.

My conclusion is that the new Fuji 35mm AF lens would be a welcome addition.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
