[Leica] An M8 photograph

[shino at panix.com (Rei Shinozuka)]

thanks,

i have a chrome m8 and i confess the summarex looks very handsome on 
it.  i think of it as a nice counterpart to the old 35 lux.  the summarex is 
all the more impressive (if not large) by virtue of being born back 
when we were chasing the tirpitz all over the north atlantic.

i don't think there are 58mm ir cut filters readily available
for it so i am shooting it unfiltered.  i've got some other nice
portraits with it, maybe i'll try to put up.
