[Leica] Lisbon August 2004 - 1

[Lluis Ripoll]

Jim,

Thank you very much for looking and for your comment. The Elmar M 50 I’ve used was the last one, I liked very much the creamly and smooth tones of this lens, but I’ve sold it some years ago for two reasons, the main reason was because it not have a focusing tab and this made a problem for me, the people who know me knows I had an accident long time ago on my left hand and this limit the possibilities of use certain lenses, the second reason is because 2.8 is not enough fast, I have several 50’s and I prefer use the faster ones.

Cheers
Lluis

If you are interested to kow the films I’vve used, ask me please, mainly I have used Ilford FP4 and HP5.
