Getting it right at f1.4 is of course difficult if you are taking, say, a portrait 2 metres away from the subject, but in general it is a wonderful lens. I sold mine to finance the purchase of the new 90mm Apo Summicron, but I felt more than a tinge of regret when packing it for shipment. You can see a couple of examples in the "motorcycles" section on my web page: http://members.tripod.com/belgiangator/page9.html You can also find a write-up by Erwin at: http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/m/lenses/pages/l11815e.html Nathan D Khong wrote: > Friends > > I am thinking of purchasing this lens at a rather decent price.
