[Leica] An M8 photograph

[shino at panix.com (Rei Shinozuka)]

here's a summarex of my daughter kitty.

i like the lens.  i got it on a whim from eb*y a couple of 
years ago after i got a IIIf and hankered a couple of LTM lenses
to go with it.  i turns out not to be such an easy lens to use
with an LTM (the big shade covers those little windows, and you have
to use a finder) but works quite nicely with the m8.
