Naughty.....naughty, Ted! If I am not mistaken this is going to start a
long unending discussion on the use of filters on Leica lenses and I am
going to get more messages to trash till the cows come home.
Jerry, ignore the vignetting. It's an artform commonly achievable only with
high end leica optics. People give up an arm and a leg for this "leica
special." That's why you don't often see them in the low priced N**** and
C**** glass.
