Bob, I especially like the "body language" picture. The figure's sharp 
definition adds strength.

Cheers

Folks -

Got a call a few weeks ago to help assess a possible new axe for my  
favorite piano player here in Chicago; only rub was that this one was  
in Dayton, Ohio, which is more than three hundred miles away. Sounded  
like a good excuse for a Road Trip to me, so off we went.

'Course, for me, a Road Trip means a number of things; besides the  
requisite Eating of the Roadside Burger, Burning of the Gasoline by  
the Piston Engine (my RX-7 has been laid up for years) and a coupla  
other indulgences I felt the occasion also demanded the Shooting of  
some Film in a Leica M.

A few of the results (from the Neopan-Xtol combo that I'm still  
dialing in with the help of a number of you Luminary Luggers) shot  
with 21, 50 & 90mm lenses can be found at:

Yeah, I know I gotta fix up some stuff, but you get the idea.  And I  
also know that I don't have an M8. But this doesn't change the fact  
that rangefinders with B&W film are a blast, for me.
