Re: [Leica] Vancouver on 50mm's a day! :)

Ted, 

Thanks for a great post on this.  For even more fun spend a day out with
just one lens, be it 21 to 400.  I think it does two things, makes use
more aware of how to find the photographs around use everywhere, and
makes us learn how to better us that lens.

Clearly Sandy is underpaid!! You have a jewel there.

Regards, Dennis
