I’ve been on a writing blitz the last 48 hrs, working non-stop on my Leica 75mm Summarit report. I’ll be dedicating the rest of today to it too, so it should be ready for posting by tomorrow.
If you’re interested in reading it, please stay tuned.

I’ve been entertaining posting a brief write-up of this little lens, but thought I’d first ask whether there’s any interest out there.
If you think this is something you would want to see, please either comment directly on this post, or email me privately.
Thanks!

This is one of those moments that works. The moment before and the moment after just didn’t measure up, despite having identical lighting, composition, and subject matter.
So, what’s the difference? It’s her. It’s her head tilt and accompanying expression… the spark that illuminated her face the moment the camera shutter was released.
It’s an example of what I’ve previously referred to as one of Life’s Little Moments.
