You know, I think that KC fellow was having a little jest with us! Or perhaps the autofocus wasn't working for him with the 75.

(i sold it after a week.) Yeah, that 75/1.4 is a real slacker when it comes to focus: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/85542848 ;-) >http://www.kylecassidy.com/trillianstars/model/lewinsky.jpg I do like the shallow depth of field in this one - like the Canon 85/1.2- my favorite Canon lens, but the Leica 75/1.4 is one of my favorite Leica lenses, too, and even better than the Canon.
