Thanks for your comments, Jim. I like the feel of the 135 Elmarit for 
this use. The weight and heft helps steady the M6. The rangefinder Leica 
has much less shutter lag than a reflex, which for a number of these 
pictures was important, in addition to allowing slower shuter speeds.

As to the shallow depth of field, yes, it is very shallow. So I needed 
to find moments when that was neither a problem, or an advantage.

Jesse
