Subject: [Leica] IMGs: New (used) G1 with 50mm Summicron

I managed to get a G1 for myself on eBay and took it to my old haunts in New
York City last Friday. All pics with the 50mm Summicron.  Some seem to have
a curious softness to them that, on blowing up the photo, doesn't appear to
be radical focus error. There's a noticeable cleaning mark on the front
element of this lens and I wonder if any of you trained-eye-owners can see
its effects? I'm thinking particularly of the picture of the lamppost. Which
may just be out of focus.

By the way, with the appropriate adapter, I've also mounted many old Minolta
lenses on this camera. The results have been astoundingly good. Also the CV
21/4 and the Elmar-C 90/4.
