Here I have one Summilux 35mm f1.4 first version steel rim with extremely early serial number: 1730018
I don't see any example earlier than this one on the Internet.

Is it? I did not know that. Interesting. Thanks! I take it as a compliment. In fact I found what was above them more interesting than what was beneath them.

Do you know more rules of composition?

Erik.

Not really, the rule of thirds is the most often referred to that is why I know it. Editorial pictures use this rule (especially when shooting landscapes) as it gives them plenty of space to write a heading. Some camera makers (i.e. Minolta) would arrange the AF sensors following the rule of thirds back in the 90's (I know that the 7xi, 9xi and 700si follow that).

Edit: actually I am pretty sure that a lot of your pictures follow that rule.
