I got no interest in shooting the critters, personally. I took the Leica to do mainly 360 panoramas for the next version of Starry Night (http://www.starrynight.com) plus record the usual male rituals of chewing tobacco, fishing, being vile etc. The 28 is currently the longest lens I use. I own a 35mm but don't use it very often. The most remarkable shot I took was of the VP of risk management of a large Canadian bank, and a former Andersen auditor, canoeing butt naked in broad daylight. I think it is probably worth a lot of money. To them, anyway. 24mm elmarit, f8 @ 1/30, Supra 100. Sharp enough to see, well, everything. - -- JB - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
