Blue Eyes

M3 / 50mm.
I did the usual "take shots of things with small letters" to test the new lens (it is perfect) and then I was walking around with the M3 and a guy stopped me to say he hadn't seen one of those old Leicas in a long time. While he and I were talking, the homeless guy that wanders around our block and sometimes sleeps in the lobby approached for money. He has startling blue eyes.

The guy I was talking with had his wallet out because he was giving me his business card. So it is his dollar this guy is holding. Just as he was handing the dollar - I whipped the camera around, focused and snapped as he looked up from the dollar to me.

50mm summicron

Other business: I traded in the 40mm Nokton Voigtlander lens + n amount of money for a used 50mm Leica f2.0 - which is the lens that I used to have (just shoot me) and always liked so much. Nothing drastically wrong with the 40mm, but it is a little harsh compared to the Leica 50 f/2.0; thankfully the C/V 28mm f1/9 is a great lens.

Also found a replacement takeup spool for the M3 at Tamarkin ($50).
