Subject: [Leica] Opinions about Nikor 50mm/1,4 LTM?

Len,

I have looked at the pictures on  
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/LeonardT/Nikon/

As you said the lens looks very sharp and shows more contrast than Leitz
lenses, and this would confirm the Philip Forrest words about the indeed use
of this lens on the dark.

Even so..., here is too late... I go to sleep and we continue tomorrow

Thanks again for your help!
Luis

Luis,

I'll put a couple photos, taken with this lens,  on the lug gallery for you
to look at. Give me a couple minutes.

Len
