Subject: [Leica] 75 Summilux!

I got my 75 Summilux today. Took it to lunch with a bunch of women (I was
the token male) and while eating saw this 18 month old boy look over the
partition at a lady eating. Was so cute I had to shoot it (and it's running
in the paper tomorrow). Shot wide open with Kodak Ektapress 400. Probably
1.4 at 1/250 sec. When I scanned the picture in I was amazed. The tonal
modulation was gorgeous. The neon lights in the background glowed. The
colors were saturated. This is truly a Leica lens with the "glow" and
"character" that people talk about.

I already love it and plan to put it to good use!
