[Leica] New toy: Canon 50/1.2 LTM

[pklein at 2alpha.net (Peter Klein)]

I have been looking for a good, clean copy of the Canon 50/1.2 LTM for a 
while.  I wanted something very fast with a classic look, and 
affordable.  Finally got one this week.  At one-half stop slower than the 
Noctilux, half the weight, and one-tenth the cost, this may fit the bill.

It's the Demi-Noct. Or perhaps the Serenoct, which can be short for both 
Serenar Noctilux or "Serenata Notturna."

Dante's 50/1.2 posts of last week were very encouraging.  Mine are more 
mundane, and I'm still learning to focus the thing, but so far, I'm feeling 
pretty good about it.
