Most of his stuff showed that you don't necessairly need super-razor-sharp images to get the idea. Of course, in his case he did it rather well... One of the things that I really like about my first Leica lens (75 summilux) is its ability to render out of focus info in such a way that you still "get it". I was initially struck by how the 35 summicron-m did this, and was originally going to get it first, but I got such a good deal on the lux, I couldn't pass it up! Anyway, just thought I'd pass on the advice to not only check out other photographers, but painters as well... it can be a real eye opener! Isaac
