For My Friend, Cindy Flood

This is dedicated entirely to honor my friend, Cindy. Unbeknownst to any of you, she has been extremely helpful, extremely giving to me of her time and experience. She told me a few weeks ago her recommendation of a lens to add to my bag, and she was correct. THEN, she was very instrumental in helping me work it out. But more importantly, she is a very fine and patient friend, answering questions over and over.
SO:
Here's to ya, Cindy, my friend. It was shot with a lens you might be familiar with.
By the way, notice how sharp this lens is on a test shot at f2...

Leica M8 ,Leica Summicron 28 ASPH
1/2000s f/2 iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Pete, my friend, that's what I'd love to know.
The folks in Solms aren't saying...
Thanks Hal, and Cindy.
