I like the Volvo shot much better than the Lear Jet.
You remind me that I now own a Leica III (but I think it's a c and not
an f) and a couple of lenses (50 & 135 I think) ... a gift from a friend
of my son after his father died. I've never made any attempt to use it
yet and really have no idea what shape it's in internally. One of these
days.
