Extremely high resolution with low contrast. If you look at my gallery below, my most recent PAW photos are taken with it. You might think low contrast is bad, but it means that this lens can really peer into the shadows. It captures a very broad dynamic range. I have the more recent Summicron as well. It has higher contrast, less dynamic range. Karen - -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
