[Leica] IMG: General Tire

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

Thanks, Cedric!  Some of the guys on this list can look at a photo and know
immediately which lens it was made with.  I can't.  I have to guess based
on which lenses I owned at the time, the probably focal length and the out
of focus background.  I carried M6's with color in one and B&W in the
other.  Usually, my Noctilux was on the B&W camera and the 24/2.8 was on
the color one, sometimes the 35/1.4 or 75/1.4 on B&W and 90/2.0 on color.
 Almost always the fastest lenses on the B&W camera.  That's the only way I
can guess what I used because I never took notes on equipment, only on
people ;-)

You would not ever regret buying the DMR and/or the Noctilux!
