Especially for shooters who are not experienced with them, like me! I was shooting too, to look at performance out to the edges and in difficult conditions too. That Summilux 21 of course, is all about the low light possibilities and DoF control. For me the most impressive part of its performance was that superb correction and flare resistance that the best of Leica's modern designs have. A specialist lens, I think. Inevitably larger and heavier than your average M lens too. Incidentally a number of subject elements shown in some shots were actually really not square, before I shot them (cupboards, building frames etc)! 2009/7/12 Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> > Geoff, > > The 21 looks great.
