Mark:

The Morgan; Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang meets Reality and corners like a  
cat on a carpet.

Leather.  Steel.  Ash frame.  Curves.  Hand Work.

Don't get any better.

Don't know why, but quite a few in Seattle.

Lots of these were done at the 12mm end of the 12-24mm f4 lens I use so
much.
Which translates to 18mm at 1.5 crop.
I never shot anything wider than 21 and that's when I got into Leica in  
the
90's and the ASPH came out. Before that I shot with a 24 2.8 ai for 20  
or 30
years on my film Nikons. Never needed anything wider. I thought.
