Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAD 16/3/2014: why I love my old Summilux

This morning I had to take my wife to our office where she was meeting up 
with members of our ski club for a week of skiing in Andorra. After dropping 
her off, I went for an early Sunday walk in the centre of Alicante. Not many 
people out and about at 9:30 a.m. but I like a city in the morning, I took 
this picture of a statue of a mayor of Alicante in the 19th century, using 
my 40 year old 50mm Summilux at full aperture, i.e. 1.4. I know that there 
are modern lenses that are better, but look at this; the sharpness, the 
bokeh...no wonder it is my favourite lens:
