I know just how you feel. = :-) Most of my shots were wide open as well. Love this lens.....

Took it to lunch with a bunch of women (I = was the token male) and while eating saw this 18 month old boy look over the partition at a lady eating. Was so cute I had to shoot it (and it's = running in the paper tomorrow). Shot wide open with Kodak Ektapress 400. = Probably 1.4 at 1/250 sec. When I scanned the picture in I was amazed. The tonal modulation was gorgeous. The neon lights in the background glowed. The colors were saturated. This is truly a Leica lens with the "glow" and "character" that people talk about. I already love it and plan to put it to good use! =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch If there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance.
