I have a weakness for crop dusters - Leica M9P images

[Zoeica]

Driving back from Natchitoches, Louisiana and I spied one of my favorite sights down here in the South. Leica M9P with 90/2.8 Fat Elmarit

Very cool. It's tough to catch planes in flight, especially when they are doing aerobatics.

I love the dusters too. Here's one of my faves, although I didn't use an M9, a Leica, or even a rangefinder. But I wish I had!

Chris (zoeica, that is), lovely images.

Chris101, where is the tank truck and the Greyhound bus? Your triptych has me picturing Cary Grant running through a cornfield in Indiana (NxNW). Great work. I'm glad you weren't using a Leica, because there's something really wonderful about the way these turned out that you might have lost if you used your best gear.

Great shots all of them. Chris101's certainly do conjure up the film, especially that menacing first pane of the triptych. Loved the stand-off of CG and the old guy waiting for the bus.

Good photos. I love all kinds of General Aviation, and photos are another way to enjoy.
