BTW Erik. That is simply one of the most beautiful Leica I images I have ever seen. Every time I see that photo, I get a strong urge to locate and assemble that exact same setup -- body, lens, hood, case, strap. Even the chair 🙂

Thank you very much!

Erik.

. . . BTW, one reason I do like the FOOKH on the Elmar is I can reach in and change the aperture without removing the hood. I find that near impossible with a FISON on the front. . .

VOOLA.

Seconded. It is gorgeous, isn't it?

Then again, sod the camera. It's the photographer's eye.

No, they are only good for photography.

Dear Eric,

For one kind of photography that I've never really thought was a good idea...

ANYTHING can be perfect for a given vision. My vision has never included 35 Elmars. If you can make it work, great. I can't, and I'm not alone.

Cheers,

R.
