Hi Victor,

Thanks for the compliments. The man was not posing, because he was concentrating
on maneuvering a large boat around the narrow Amsterdam canals. As for aperture,
I do not remember exactly but given that I was using a 100 speed film, it was a
cloudy day and I was trying to keep the shutter speeds fast, it could not have
been more than 2.8 or 4 at most. The 35mm Summilux ASPH is my bread-and-butter
lens, it is wonderful and fully usable at all apertures including 1.4.

Kind regards,
Nathan
