[Leica] Northern Lights Trip

[Philippe]

Xmas is close, very close.

Wouldn’t it be high time for Tom to finally get his own SL body?
He’s been dreaming of one for so long ...
;-)

Against the cold, I don’t see many solutions but the onion technique.
I sometimes even wear silk gloves under my ski gloves … makes it difficult to feel the shutter release button though.

I’ll ask a friend who made the trip with his nikons, and report when he’s anwered to me.

Till then

Amities
