Yes,agree, thanks again Thomas, your stuff I see here is one reason I bought a Summicron-R myself.
Rolf, India is a paradise for photographers, and yes, the people feel very comfortable in their own skin and in their culture. And they are not disturbed in the slightest at having their photograph taken. It also helps that seemingly they are unfailingly photogenic! Hindu culture in particular is very open and lived in public space. Recommended if you get the chance to go.
