I've put three rolls of TMAX through it already, but I won't be home until
Saturday to process them.

I can't say that I _needed_ this ... but I've always wanted a real wide
angle lens for my rangefinders. It makes such a small package. I'm hoping
it will work out ok, but I've already run into situations where 4.0 was
not enough (2.8 wouldn't have been either so ...). But now I've got EI
1600 film in it.

Believe me ... I'm anxious to see what I think myself!

Reminds me ... I almost got fired for using a wide-angle once ... at Dan
Walker's inaugurational ball (governor of Illinois in the 70's). The next
to the last shot on the bottom row:

one) It was done with a 24mm.

Best,
Daniel
