My next question is slightly more nebulous, but for those that believe/understand my question, feel free to answer.... In the Leica M series, I have seen certain lens with what I'd call a certain signature look. The 35mm pre-asph, the 50mm nocti (hold your tongue here BD), the 75mm lux. I can't define what exactly the "look" is, some actually consider the look "flawed", but some of you might understand, and appreciate it as well. (I particularly like how black and white film works with these lenses). So, my question is....what are the, if any, equivalents of these lenses in the Leica R lens line-up. I'm not wanting a Leica vs. Japan argument, a dissertation on the origins of the word bokeh and how it relates to Mesopotamian slave castes in nazi owned factories that made tilley hats... I'm just curious about R lens line-up now that I have an R-7 (thank you Phong). TIA - -kim (who incidentally is also a chick, er, woman, er womyn, well, xx....so that makes at least 3 on the lug.) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
