Re: Passover with the 50 DR Summicron

Natasha is my favorite here - made me chuckle in her 'I don't care if you don't think I should be on the counter' attitude.

I just acquired a nice, recently CLAed DR 50 Summicron. The DR was my first Leica lens ever, back in the 70s. Sold it long ago, regretted doing so ever since. So I'm about to find out if nostalgia is what it used to be.

I didn't really buy the DR as an available light lens, but this was the first opportunity I had to really try it out. The film is the discontinued consumer Kodak BW 400 (C41), which a lab gave me after a bad processing experience. It's OK, but T400CN is better. I'll have to shoot a roll of Tri-X and another of Provia to really get the feel for the lens. So far I like what I see, though. These are all shot at f/2 - 2.8.
