Yowza yowza William...... I didn't get that part about eating my heart out - was I supposed to admire/envy your photography or your gear ;-) ?! Jocular jostling aside, one thing is for sure, I do like the 800 ASA film that you used - and your scans are superb in quality. Overall nice photos from Dulles - Congratulations! I was actually at that airport (which is near the Aerospace Museum where your shots are from) last week, and will again be there next week! Knowiing full well that you were teasing about this being Leica Reflex list and not a M list, I willingly concede that I've knowingly snuck in Leica M material more than once (....so whip me with a wet noodle). However, I also have seen so much discussion on Pentax and Nikon stuff here in the past - which is totally non-Leica, that I don't feel hemmed in to stick to a 'Flex thread 100% of the time. Even the M8 has garnered many a pensive thread on this list, as have LeiCanon paradigms and 4/3 system digital camera adapters, as well as the lengthy discussions on post-processing software. If anything, it is testament to the open-minded to share the collective expansive knowledge base of this list.......people here DO spread their wings into different/new territory. I certainly have felt that diversity is a real kudo about this list, and have vicariously lived through the sense of discovery that those of you have shared here - like Philippe getting more and more into his digital X'mas present. William, you and I both love wide angle photography thru' M lenses.....maybe we can discuss (off-list or at the Leica freelist forum??) about the new Zeiss Ikon's famously touted viewfinder? Particularly, why should someone sink ~$3500 into a .58 M7 or MP over the lighter (albeit less robust) Zeiss Ikon.....other than it being a COSINA-made camera and not a LEICA ;-) !
