Ric, an enjoyable stroll with you in Raleigh NC. The police car and Obama
posters are good seeing especially.
One minor quibble, that guy is unloading Coors lite, not beer.

Cheers
Geoff

Things change.

In my previous (SLR) life, I probably shot fewer than 100 SLR photos  
with a 35mm lens. That's over 30-year period. Realistically, the only  
time I used a 35 was when I pocketed my Olympus XA.

In my rangefinder incarnation, the 35 has become my walk-around lens.  
All of this Week 19's shots were with my CV Nokton 35/1.2.

It's a little heavy, but I like the occasional narrow depth of field.  
(Time to buy a neutral density filter for it.) Must trot out the  
Ultron a little more often to reduce muscle strain;^)

Is shallow depth of field going to become a Photoshop skill with 28  
becoming the new 35 on the M8??
