Congrats! You will find that is has some Noctilux-like characteristics. You see things in the negative you didn't with your eye. And, you'll look at the room and the extreme low light that causes you to crank it open to 1.4 and say to yourself, this will be hard to print (scan) and when you do, it will blow you away with its full detail, control of highlights and absolutely gorgeous color rendition. It's an unbelievable lens. The more I use it, the more I respect those Canadian designers/manufacturers at Leica (used to be, alas). - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch More hay, Trigger?
