Nice photo!!Leica M2 with 35mm or 50mm Summicron lenses. Film: Tri-X 400 (the contemporary type), developed in HC-110 H (double the B dilution), 10 min at 68 deg. F. Scanned with a Plustek 7600i scanner using SilverFast software. The M2 has been in the family since new in 1962, but the lenses are 1990s vintage. View attachment 172191
