[Leica] IMGs: Miranda Musings

[Nathan Wajsman]

It is hard to judge the lens based on a hand-held image on the web. The woman appears sharp enough, the dogs a bit less, but from experience, this breed of dog always looks fluffy ;-)

Cheers,
Nathan

Ten years ago I ran one film through the camera when I picked it up in a charity shop, but, as I had Leicas, Nikons, etc. among my sixty cameras, I never got around to using it again. Here is a shot I took ten years ago with the lens https://www.flickr.com/photos/50543475@N00/435692550/
