I decided to do the journal when it occurred to me that some viewers might either ask (1) why the hell did you shoot that?, or (2) Which lens did you use for that? I usually don't post PAW notices on the LUG because I have a tendency to use Hexanon lenses, a sore point for Leica purists. If I do post a PAW notice on the LUG, I bury the technical details in the journal so that someone has to actually go digging to get offended. ;-) Jeffery At 12:30 PM 11/24/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I don't think the bokeh is objectionable - and it's a great shot.
