Subject: [Leica] Back from Paris

I am back at home from a very pleasant trip to Paris. I was there with my
wife, and we spent most of the time walking about in this interesting city.
In fact, we walked so much that our legs were hurting several days after
coming home. The special thing with Paris, is that there are photo
opportunities everywhere, even when under way to different "attractions".
I was carrying a very small photo bag, with 2 M:s and 35 and 50 mm lenses
only. Light was as most 1/250 F/5,6 for 400 ASA, but most of the time a lot
less, so most shots were made with lenses wide open.
I have not received the slides yet, but I have published the B/W pictures on
my site, with at least one good picture (Place des Vosges) from the 2 rolls
of Tri-X.
When I took this picture, I saw two other persons with M6 cameras, but I did
not have time to speak to them. I wonder if anyone of you are on this list?
(I was the man in the dark green coat).
I did not have time to go to any photographic stores, only FNAC at Rue de
Rennes, where I bought some books (Selgado, HCB, Douesnau) and a Billingham
Alice.
