Greetings again. Last week I played around with a Summarit at F1.5. This
lens does indeed provide that famous Leica "Glow". For some situations this
lens has a unique signature very hard to replicat in PS and certainly not to
everyones taste.
 First up is a window portrait of my daughter. This is a little less than
half the negative as the original showed far more of the window in a
landscape mode.

 Second is a gray day shot with room to show the Summarit's unique signature
in background detail at wider apertures.

 Last for today is a shot taken while waiting at the airport. No stealth,
just pick up the camera and shoot.

 The portraits were part of a series that will go into a painting so the
unique glow was part of my plot to take some creative control away from the
artist.
 Enjoy, take pictures, and certainly comment.
