[Leica] IMG: One Last Try

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Ted,

Yes, they do have self-serve, and they take credit cards.

But, depending on the number of airplanes on the ramp, it is often 
better to drive a truck to the parked plane, as she did here.  I am 
often amazed at the skill these young women display when backing large 
tanker trucks.  Though they are driving 4-wheel vehicles, not 
tractor-trailer rigs.

It's not like serving ice cream from behind a drugstore counter.

I like this focal length when used on the Fuji, but continue to find that the uncoated lens elements produce a very low contrast image for me.  With a lot of post processing, I can get usable images, but feel that a modern, autofocus, lens would be a better choice.
