Pictures mainly made with a R3 and a summicron 50. The quality of reproduction is tremendous.Like you, when I saw these pictures, I begin to dream about a Leica. The second book, "Lagune de Venise", is remarkable too. The third, "Fulvio Roiter photographe", is my prefered because he explained how he "shot", with which lens, etc.He showed the back-office. See, for instance, p.55 the little african girl and the old man. Great ! Joyeux Noel, Dominique
