[Leica] [OM] IMG: Airport Activity

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Nathan.  She didn't pull a ladder from the truck, so she was 
holding that heavy fueling nozzle while standing on tip-toes.  I had to 
work quickly.

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.
