At F4 and 5.6, images pop - with an almost 3d appearance.....But the 90/2.8 is cold and clinical - there is no modeling... some may like/want that...but not me. Maybe "fingerprint" is a word you all understand more clearly... ________________________________ From: lug-bounces+colucci=thehearth.org@leica-users.org on behalf of Ted Grant Sent: Wed 10/20/2004 2:45 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Recent Leica 90/2.8 - Seeking Comments and Advice Dan Colucci said: >>> I found the 90/2.8 current M & R lens to be bland. Sharp yes, contrasty > yes, but no personality...<<<<< Hi Dan, Man that's an interesting comment... "but no personality?" Gee how does a lens of cold glass and metal have a personality? I know women sure have personalities, some guys also, but a lens? Surely you mean something else other than personality? I wonder if you might elaborate sir?
