Subject: [Leica] One Day in School

Hi all,

My three children have all attended the same school here in Brisbane
from the day they began school. I still have two sons there (and the
school fees are killing me) and my daughter has finished and is now 2nd
yr University.

I recently spent a day at the school photographing for fun and to try
out a new 21mm lens for the M6. As a long-time parent of the school I
had permission to go anywhere and photograph anything at anytime. I
used, I think six or seven rolls of Fuji 400 for the day and some of the
results are posted at:
http://www.leica-gallery.net/heymanphoto/folder-3447.html   if anyone is
interested.  A large percentage is with the 21mm and to a lesser extent
I used the 35mm and the 50mm Summicrons.

The 21mm is fantastic! No doubt about it, I would love one, but I can't
justify the six thousand+ dollars it would cost to buy the bloody thing.
As many of you know I use my 50mm for most of my work and the 35 and 90
rarely. For portraits the 21mm would probably sit in the bag. Pity!

Rob
