Subject: [Leica] making do...

At the recent Photokina, I took only my 21SA, as I expected crowds, 
and an old 50 Summi, for some speed.  I also popped my old SL-vintage 
2x converter in my pocket, in case I needed some 'reach" over the 
crowds.   I could see no point in taking anything larger and I was right.

While wandering between halls, with Howard Cummer, we stumbled across 
some models.  Howard graciously held my bags of stuff, whilst I went 
to work with what I had... the old 50 Summi with 2x converter, on the R8+DMR.

Actually, it's quite amazing what you can do with a 100mm f4, when 
it's what you've got!

Comments and criticism graciously accepted, as always.

Cheers!
