The lens is actually on a "test drive" from Dale Photography. The other day I visited the LHSA site and there at the top of the screen was an advertisement to "test drive" Leica lenses. Good Ploy!! I have ordered this lens. This shot is of the new WWII veterans' memorial on the outskirts of Cody. I believe that is actually Wyoming's memorial. The photo was made at f 3.8. A similar shot made at f 8 has much greater depth of focus. I think this a terrific lens, which I need to learn to use properly. My chronic problem of sloping horizons really stands out. I once had a 24mm Nikkor for my SLR, it did not hold a candle to the Leica lens in terms of sharpness. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Lee/recent/20090828-L1062161.jpg.html Lee
