Some new film PAWs that I've gotten around to uploading:
PAW22: It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a small plane in a small room
in Tokyo. Can anyone identify what type of plane it is? Piper
Cherokee? Leica M3 / Summaron 35mm f/2.8

PAW23: I'm a sucker for dogs and Tokyo is a good city for taking
PAWs walking around neighborhoods. The Summaron renders this nicely.
We're at the end of the dog days of summer, it's becoming quite
chilly these days.

PAW21: Alley near Shinjuku Station. Again with the M3/ Summaron
combination, at night, handheld.

PAW24: If you're one those who are in denial that changing lenses
can actually change the flavor of a photograph, compare this scene of
busy downtown life in Ameyokocho with the scene above in Shinjuku.
The modern Summicron is much colder and contrastier. Different, yes.
Better... perhaps? I actually prefer the Summaron for neighborhood
photos (as long as there is no bright light to cause it to flare).

PAW20: I cross-posted this with the Voigltander list so I thought I
should throw in a photo taken with a Voigtlander lens, in this case
the 25mm Color Skopar.* It's a fine lens but it has a tendency to
flare.

* I think it's the 25mm. I wrote down 15mm in my log, but the
perspective is more 25mm than 15mm.
Comments and flames welcome!
