[Leica] IMG: Lesson Learned Part Two

[afirkin at afirkin.com (afirkin@afirkin.com)]

Looks like the camera and lens are performing well: strangely, I was 
admiring the Woodpecker graffiti when I was called away to a patient. I 
asked about the swelling of his legs and his reply: I have woodpecker legs. 
15 years ago, following varicose vein surgery he said his legs looked like 
your tree!!!! Funny old world. His leg have been swollen ever since. Lesson 
3: stay away from surgeons ;-)

Cheers

LUGGERS,

After blowing my first attempt to check out a lens with 4-yr old film, I 
threw most of the old stuff away and loaded a roll of C-41 B&W dated 2006.  
With this film, I got the checkout that I wanted, and picked up a few 
interesting shots along the way.  I have place seven of these in a "Black 
and White" album in my gallery.  

These images were made with my old Pentax Spotmatic and a Super-Multi-Coated 
Takumar 1.4/50mm.  This lens has a good reputation, but is new to me and I 
had to find out for myself.  I am well satisfied with my sample.
