My friend,
For Christmas I've made myself a big present.
I sold my ELMARIT 135/2,8 (mint) and my M4P chrome 50th (new
boxed) and I bought a mint++ Noctilux and a Summilux 75/1,4
new (I'm crazy I know)
When I've seen the slides about them I've formatted my
"photo mind" and I've said:
"today for me is is year n=C2=B0 ZERO of my personal photo
history, Only now I can understand the true mith of leica
lenses only now I begin to learn......"

Oggetto: [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!
