Steve:

Yes, the Summitar is a 50mm lens, only its maximum aperture is a fairly
unusable f2 (the Summarit is f1.5).  It is very sharp above f4.5, however.

Almost all the photos were taken in Santa Fe, NM, except for the first two
in the other folder.  Those were taken on the Acoma Pueblo, about half-way
between Albuquerque and the Arizona border.

Last weekend the annual Indian Market was held in Santa Fe, with about
75,000 to 100,000 newcomers in town - an almost carnival-like atmosphere
with many photo opportunities.
