The original slides have lost some colour but some are still very sharp (I'm certain that the cottage gardens in RHB were shot with a Zeiss Ikon SL706 with an Ultron 50 - an utterly gorgeous lens that I still kick myself for having sold). Hope you enjoy this new set, there's more to come later. I'm on the ones I didn't take The new set starts here with a shot of where I was born and lived until I was 12 or 13 and finishes with the first shot I ever took with a Leica - in 1977 in Neuharlingersiel on the German North Sea coast (it was an M2 complete with a collapsible Elmar 50 that I bought from a colleague at work): http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Old+Slides+and+Negs/Old_slides_20031119-0_7b.jpg.html Cheers Douglas
