[Leica] A New/Old Toy?

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

Interesting images: I like the first one in particular. When I went to Bali, 
I became very "abstract" in Ubud, and now anything like this I term my Ubud 
"phase" ;-)

Cheers

Picked up a new/old gorgeous IIIf R/D with a collapsible 50mm f2
Summicron. Over fifty years old but looking like new and in full
working order. I just had to go and use it - this seemed to cause the
dealer some dismay. Anyway I had a good few hours out with the new
"toy". I have put up 4 images from my "testing" the kit. Be warned
they are not to every one's taste - shapes with light and shade some
verging on the abstract. No need to look but I welcome C&C if you do.
I just wanted to report my pleasure using a classic piece of Leica
kit. The first is at

P.S. In the prints the grain is present but not obtrusive and a
pleasant counterpart to the "clean" pics from my (Nikon) digital
images.
