The first 4 are at f/1.8, f/2, f/2.8 and f/4. Focus was not adjusted between the shots. They were taken on an M9 with latest firmware (that's why the number got reset!) at ISO 160, and shutter speeds above 1/125 sec. Imported into LR3, camera calibrated but not other adjustments. No sharpening, no nuthin'. The last shot is of Howard Cummer at about 1.1m, and only the colour balance was slightly corrected. For pixel peepers I've included large files at full resolution, sRGB jpgs at 70% so they're not too big. Not too much in the way of artifacts. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/hwulff/Stuff/L1000045.jpg.html Some focus shift is evident, but in general the lens performs very well, providing a look that's similar to that of the 75 Summilux. -- * Henning J.
