To be honest, it looks like a Zuiko shot to me, and that's a good thing (I'm a big OM fan, as well as Leica). My only gripe is that the focus is on the wall and not the man or the dog. If the wall was slightly blurred, and the dog and man in sharper focus, it would improve the shot a lot. Oh well, better than not having taken it at all, as you suggested! - - marc Peter Klein wrote: > This actually wasn't taken with a Leica, but it is a Leica-type shot, I > think.
