I can pick out the photos you do with it easily.... B+W. digital or film, it shines! I have been shooting ( amateur) for 50 years, and I am just starting to understand lens fingerprints and which I like.....I had a 35 Summilux and did not like it particularly.... but your example is marvelous..... NEVER sell that lens..... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net I see a certain trend of the digital users of last digital technology and the powerful new "clinic" lenses, IMHO many of the pictures I see are based on the effects of the lens and technology than the image, this will probably produce in some years a total change of the preferences. As you say, people prefer the fine detail of digital than the grain. Of course I respect all the preferences and I want add another consideration. This evolution pro technological values makes also a big benefits to all the industry involved, is there some Marketing influencing throughout the images of actual great photographers the preferences. If we do an abstraction, would be in our days appreciated as it was the Alfred Eisenstaedt picture of the kiss in Times Square? Or we actually would have appreciated the same image isolated by the effect of a Nocti 0.95?
