A tool for the artist

The Leica 21mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4 and the Leica 24mm Summilux ASPH f/1.4 sister lens were introduced in 2008 as a revolutionary new idea of narrow depth of field for super wide angle lenses.

Leica M11 review by Thorsten Overgaard: Leica M11 Mechanical vs Electronic Shutter"

 

Saturday morning inside Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe in Boston: This place was just around the corner of where I stayed in Boston and had become part of my morning ritual. The chef there has three old Leica M3, M2, IIIf cameras and 15 old school lenses that he said he would send me more info on. I think I can get him upgraded to Leica M9, at least. The place features great food, resulting in a waiting line outside on Saturdays. Obama was here, and so was Al Gore and Sammy Davis Jr. (not at the same time, though). Charlie's is also known for serving Afro-American musicians when nobody else would, back when. Leica M 240 with Leica 21mm Summilux-M ASPH f/1.4
