[Leica] [IMG] PESO - Following Lluis

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Very nice images, Peter.

One question and a suggestion:

You state that you used a 5cm Summaron.  I am only familiar with the 
3.5cm by that name.  Could it be the Summitar or Summicron?

When posting images, I find it useful to resize them to around 900 
pixels tall, or 1200-1400 pixels wide, so that the enlarged version in 
the gallery can be better viewed and appreciated.

Please keep posting.  I like your vision!
