[Leica] PAW 10 Lee Hermann

Dear LUG,
        I see that it is time to submit my latest PAW.  Like Don Dory, this 
week I 
unwrapped a Summilux-ASPH 50mm lens.  I will admit that it may be a sign of 
madness.  Lots of bucks for one stop.  I apologize to the film critics, but 
gold 200 was at hand and I kinda like it. The first photo was taken on my 
bicycle ride along the Shoshone River.  It has been a dry winter in a dry 
land and there is not much water in the river, but a little ice on the dam.

The second photo was one of the canyon walls, I liked the light on the rock.

I tried the lens wide open, snapping my wife as she sorted some old 
photos.  I think that the areas of out of focus are nice.  I tried cropping 
the image but did not like it.

The last one is also to show the Bokeh.  One can appreciate the plane of 
focus quite well.  I think that the lens did OK with the colors too.

Hope some one likes these.  Comments and jeers are fine.  They represent 
what you think.
