Subject: [Leica] 15mm Heliar

I just returned from the Good Guys National Hot Rod Show where I took
pictures with my 15mm Heliar mounted on my Leica M6.

It is amazing to take pictures of a car at two meters and include the whole
car with a margin around it.   I had no problem with people walking between
the subject and the camera.

The viewfinder shows a large foreground and a diminished back end.   It will
be interesting to observe the distortion in the printed negatives.
