One time was photographing the Hell's Angels doing crowd control with pool cues and one of them saw me, I could tell, looking through the 21mm lens, pointed the pool cue at me, yelled something threatening and started coming. I put camera down (after shooting one frame of course), leaned back and pushed off with heals and quickly buried myself in the crowd. Heart pounding. Maybe Leica should put an "objects are closer than they appear" warning on the viewfinder. Donal Philby San Diego
