I'm bookmarking your site. Thanks a lot. All the pics from Feb 1 to Feb 17 are with the Summarit. Since then I've been using a Noctilux, but the Summarit holds a special place in my heart. Everything else on the site is done with a Nikon F3 (I've had the Leica since the beginning of February) apart some colour work done with a digicam. But I'm using the M6 exclusively now. I'll be posting a picture every day for the forseeable future (sometimes it's a bit late though...). By the way, it's a tram (so much more stable than a bus!). I shoot a lot on trams.
