I've enjoyed looking through a few of your Japanese gallery. I'll return later.
It's great to see images of Japan which are not simply showing their temples,
trains, gardens etc. My best street photos were taken in London's street
markets back in 1962 using a Vito II 35mm folder with 50 f3.5 Color Skopar, and
near silent shutter. I have a Canonet with the f1.7 lens - must give it a go
one day, but my Nikon CP4500 does fairly well as nobody seems to think it can
take decent pictures!
Thanks for the kind words!
I'm intrigued as to how you mounted a Canon 35 f2 on a Leica M7? Was it the old
screw version of the 35 f2, or the FD - surely not the modern, and my favourite,
EF version!
Before EF, FD, and even FL, Canon used to make a series of screwmount Leica-clone cameras. My favorites is the Canon P:

So there's an entire series of Canon/Serenar lenses made in Leica-screw mount in the 1950s and 1960s that are still widely available. They aren't as good as the best FD/EF lenses but they certainly still hold their own:

Thanks again!
