[Leica] IMG: Airport Activity

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for looking and commenting, Lluis.  I was surprised at the 
saturation in closer shots, and I actually reduced the saturation in one 
of them.  With the distant shot of the parachute, it was not that 
apparent.  I need to do some more experimenting. :-)

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.
