[Leica] IMG: At the Airport

[Jim Nichols]

Philippe, it was the the Fujinon 27/2.8, which I keep on the X-E1, which 
lives in the arm rest compartment of my Volvo.  Since I wear glasses, I 
have difficulty with this viewfinder in bright sunlight.  I'm not sure 
if 2.8 would have blurred the background, but it probably would have helped.

Of course, if you had a fix FL my remark applies less, except for a much higher speed for full aperture :-)
