Can anyone identify what type of plane it is? Piper Cherokee? Leica M3 / Summaron 35mm f/2.8 http://photoethnography.com/gallery/paw2004/index22.html PAW23: I'm a sucker for dogs and Tokyo is a good city for taking PAWs walking around neighborhoods. The Summaron renders this nicely. We're at the end of the dog days of summer, it's becoming quite chilly these days. http://photoethnography.com/gallery/paw2004/index23.html PAW21: Alley near Shinjuku Station. Again with the M3/ Summaron combination, at night, handheld. http://photoethnography.com/gallery/paw2004/index21.html PAW24: If you're one those who are in denial that changing lenses can actually change the flavor of a photograph, compare this scene of busy downtown life in Ameyokocho with the scene above in Shinjuku. The modern Summicron is much colder and contrastier. Different, yes. Better... perhaps? I actually prefer the Summaron for neighborhood photos (as long as there is no bright light to cause it to flare). http://photoethnography.com/gallery/paw2004/index24.html PAW20: I cross-posted this with the Voigltander list so I thought I should throw in a photo taken with a Voigtlander lens, in this case the 25mm Color Skopar.* It's a fine lens but it has a tendency to flare. http://photoethnography.com/gallery/paw2004/index20.html * I think it's the 25mm. I wrote down 15mm in my log, but the perspective is more 25mm than 15mm. Comments and flames welcome! Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
