I found this out purely by accident, as after a drink one night, some lovely fog rolled in, and I decided to go for a walk with my M6 and 50 Summilux. I'm sure that a few more would negate any positive effects (and probably get drool all over your precious Leica), so nobody should get any ideas about downing an entire bottle of scotch to sharpen up on their technique. - ----Original Message----- >From: Bill Erfurth <m6rf@yahoo.com> >Surveys show that photographers who drink Lagavulin produce far better >images than those who don't.
