[Leica] A variety of images

[Lluis Ripoll]

Hello Alan,

Thank you very much for your comments, as you know I really appreciate your opinion. 

Every day I find more difficult take the pictures I like, in my opinion the life has become more uniform in all the World and it is more difficul find moments that differ from the standard way of life, on the other hand I have photographed already a lot of situations and it becomes more difficult find new ones, last but not least I’m already 80 and it is more difficult to see the life with new eyes.

I’m glad you like the bokeh of “Just before the kiss”, I like the rendition of the old lenses more than the perfection of the new ones, this one was shoot with the old Summilux 50 V2, another great dessign from W. Mandler manufactured with the same optical formula  from early 60’s to 2003 when it appears the new Asph, one day I did a test with  a friend who has the Lux Asph, compared to mine it was too sharp, too perfect, as photograph I prefer suggest the reality than reproduce it.

All the best
Lluis
