I know that I'm supposed to be seeing some differences in quality and  
rendering, and possibly bokeh, with the different lenses, but on my  
laptop screen the image quality is almost identical. Good - but  
hardly any differences that can be ascribed to lenses. With the  
exception of the 21 mm Elmarit picture, all could be taken with a  
normal lens on almost any quality 35mm camera, even my Rollei 35. The  
composition and catching the decisive moment aspects of Luis'  
photography are up to their usual excellent standard but viewing the  
pictures on a 12" screen leads me to wonder if Leica glass is really  
worth the bother for internet presentation. Or is it my eyes and  
judgment?
