Are you the Hubert Nowotny who has been featured in Leica Photography a time
or two? Love your work! You are a very talented photographer.

I used to own some of the very oldest Leica R lenses. One's serial number
was dated to the year before the Leicaflex made its debut so it must have
been in the very first run. (A 35 Elmarit). They were extremely good lenses.
So I know people don't have to have the latest stuf to make fine images, or
get the "Leica look."
