Lots about your elections on the news here in UK but nice to see the pictures. Is this the 'new' 135mm lens (f/3.4 ASPH) ? My dealer advised me not to buy it for the M8 as the rangefinder would be inaccurate. But you have done fine.

I went to an Obama Town Hall last week. Here is a small gallery of photos: http://gallery.mac.com/robert.rose#100082 M8, 135mm APO-Telyt-M, f/5.6 for most shots. By the way, on the Obama shots I was almost directly in the sun, and there is lots of flare on the raw files. Converting to B&W (L1000271) seems to work for that problem. For the color shots I adjusted the exposure and range in iPhoto. Regards, Bob Rose Robert Rose robert.rose@mac.com Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding. Louis Brandeis, Olmstead v.
