Nathan....Love that image. As you say the 35mm summarit really delivers the
goods, but don't downplay the photographer who saw the potential of the image!

Subject: [OM] Nathan's PAD 4/1/2013: flare in Barcelona (NOT)
I do not talk much about equipment when posting my pictures. But sometimes it
is appropriate, and the PAD from the day before yesterday is one of those
occasions. I was in Barcelona with my children, and we were walking along a
narrow street in the old city in late afternoon. We were walking straight west,
and so the setting sun provided rich opportunities for contre-jour imagery. I
have to say that with any of my other systems, past or present (Pentax, Canon,
Panasonic etc.) this image would have drowned in flare. But a Leica lens (35mm
Summarit, their "budget" option in that focal length) is something special:
