I like the shot because it is one of the few that I have where they aren't little blurs in the frame. I think the cold slowed them down a bit. ;) >Great tonality in that Jupiter. I'll admit I am very impressed with it. I got it from the LUG's own Stanislaw Stawowy in a lens trade that we are both happy about. Like my Jupiter 9 it doesn't have that buttery smooth Leica handling and probably isn't near as much of a thrill to use, but the images that they both produce make up the difference in what Leica glass would have cost me up front. I'm just a kid of 33 years...I've got many years to spend Nicole and Beth's college education fund on Leica equipment. At least they'll have some ok childhood photographs. Carpe Luminem, Michael E.
