[Leica] new camera and a portrait of Jan

Seems to me you have 2 keepers: the camera and the wife. The softer effect 
of the older lens is very suited to all female portraits. 

Cheers

Dear LUG,

Yesterday I was surprised and delighted that my wife, when told that 
I had seen a neat old Leica at the used camera store, said  "that is 
pretty cheap, you should buy it. "   Perhaps she has been broken by 
purchases of an M8 and Summilux lenses etc.  Not wanting any change 
of plan, I took her to the store and she bought the camera for 
me.  She did say that she had purchased many clothes for more.  The 
camera seems in very good shape, but what blows me away is the 
quality of a 74 year old lens at f2 when attached to the M8.

A portrait of Jan, iso 640 and f2, Summar 50mm lens.

Camera and lens are only two years older than me.

Hope you enjoy.
Lee
