A couple of years ago Erwin explained to me over dinner in Amsterdam that one of the acid tests of a lens is how it renders light sources, and this one certainly passes! I like the DC cityscape the best of the two shots. The "gang of 5" reminds me of the scene at the Photokina dinner, when everyone puts her or his Leica on the table for a group shot. 2002 is another Photokina year, and I look forward to renewing old LUG friendships and making new ones at Cologne this fall. And congratulations on completing the year and thanks for your pictures and for the feedback you give to others. Nathan Steve LeHuray wrote: > Seems hard to believe, but this year's PAW is complete.
