Well you know what I mean, ;-) > with the > location, the restaurants, bars and the wonderful Parisians! :-) absolutely yes, comme tu sais, I married one.... :-) Paris, always changing, always the same.... so beautiful, so bitter sweet... we stayed close to where I worked there in 1975- 1976, coin Jussieu , rue Mouffetard... we also spent a week on a farm in Normandy... I used my M8 and two lenses...Summicron 50/2 DR and Summicron 35/2 pre ASPH version 4...that's all I took... If I have anything to show to the LUG, just a little later... I do hope to get to my photos soon... avec mes amities, Steve > > > > Cheers, > > ted > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
