I shot all available light indoors, friends at a restaurant, by a large south facing window. It was overcast outside. I used my 35 Summicron. Processed the film at a local 1hr lab (owned by a friend). We were just sitting around and talking. I pulled out my M2 and started shooting. I was pleasantly surprised. The results were great. I showed them to my friends (the subjects) and they were stunned. First that they were B&W. They had forgotten that there was such a thing as B&W film. And second that the pictures were so gorgeous. Side light from a large window. Third version 35mm Summicron between f/2 & f/4. I have to tell you, I really like this stuff. I also really like this lens. I'm going to shoot a lot more of this film in my M2 (and soon in my M6 0.85 I hope.) Jim
