[Leica] 75mm 1.4 - Any pics?

[buzz.hausner at verizon.net (buzz.hausner@verizon.net)]

I'm a bit confused here.  If you already have a 75mm Summilux, just go out 
and shoot a roll of C-41 film and run it by the pharmacy.  This will give 
you a much better idea of the lens' capabilities than other people's shots 
viewed on a computer screen.

That said, to me the real question regarding this lens is, "How do you feel 
about the 75mm focal length?"  I for one love it and use the 75 a great 
deal.  Other people hate it as too "fifty-ish" or something.  I don't think 
anyone would ever state or imply that the results, even wide open, are 
anything less than wonderful.  If I am not mistaken, it and the Noctilux 
arethe last "hand designed" lenses in the Leica catalogue.
