Serendipity. GX1, Leitz Summar 50mm.

I came out of the clinic Blipless this evening, walked to my car in the parking lot and there was this view just waiting to be Blipped. It had rained earlier in the day but only a few puddles remained, one of which perfectly contained the reflected sign. I happened to have my 1938 vintage uncoated Summar 50mm lens on the camera. This image was exposed at full aperture (f2) at 30th of a second. I described this amazing lens more fully here. The front element is made of a very brittle flint glass and 75+ years out, it is extremely difficult to find an optically unblemished example. I was lucky, and did so some years ago; and for short money too:-)
