[Leica] A PAW shot I really like

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

I understand Brian's explanation differently Hoppy. I think he said  
he took the picture with his 28mm, which has the same fov as a 37mm  
on the M8 sensor, then he cropped the picture to approximately the  
same fov as a 75mm would have had, so he did indeed get the same  
perspective as the 75 would have had, only loosing resolution. I am  
sure he was more than 3 feet away.
cheers
Frank
