LTM: FOUND! - My First Leica Photo! - A Reprise.

[jcgoodman]

On (2006-01-06) I posted my first ever Leica shot, taken in 1974

with a friend's Leica II and Summar lens. That pic, repeated

below, shows part of a building in Collins Street, Melbourne,

Australia. Last week, wondering if the scene still existed, I

picked up my Leica II and Summar - (that first leica experience

enthused me enough to obtain my own LTM outfit) - and headed

off to the same location, taking a similar photo. Not much has

changed in that particular microcosm, as shown by the "repeat

photo", below! Cheers.<div></div>

No doubt at the "Paris" end of the street...which building is it?

Hello Mike H. Yes - the "Paris End" of Collins Street, Melbourne,

Australia. Here is a shot of the area. I'm sorry to say that the

sartorial style of the local inhabitants doesn't quite mesh with the

"Paris" bit..!<div></div>

Oh, Mike, the building - 119 Collins Street, I think...John.
