A couple more standout favorites from Kyle's galleries that prove you don't
have to use a Leica to produce great stuff (sorry, I just have to):

(Nikon F2, Nikkor 24mm, Tri-X)

(Olympus Stylus Epic, HP5)
How DOES he do that?  Everything blurred except her face, which is
wonderfully in focus.  And how come I can't make my Stylus Epic work this
way?!

(Nikon F, Vivitar 28, Tri-X)

And my favorite of all....

That's one I wouldn't mind hanging on my wall.  What a beauty.
