In the 1950's many wished to see one. In the 1960's just prior to departing for war in Asia there was one parked at the General's Headquarters parking lot. A quick look at a auto with real styling and we were gone.

 

 

This is a true classic and enjoying everyone of your museum pictures, Thank you so much.

great idea for a study of this classic, expertly handled.

 

Thank you very much, Stuart. The Mercedes-Benz-Museum Stuttgart is frequented by many visitors and the cars are often presented with only little space between them. So I often had to reduce photographing on interesting details.

Even the light is very subdued at times and you gain despite a high ISO value only a shallow depth of field.

But nevertheless I like the Summilux 75 on the M8.2 even because of its crop factor to 101mm.

gshay, thank you very much for your personal comment.

War is cruel and I'm glad to hear that you survived war in Asia (Korea?).

Fortunately I grew up in times of peace.

But two of my uncles died in World War II.

One of my distant relatives in the States (1916 - 2007) served with the U. S. Navy on the USS Saratoga during WW II and later in Korea.

All the best
