The 28 1.4 or perhaps 14 2.8. http://tinyurl.com/c4bmnog It turned out the be the lowly 99 dollar special 18.0-55.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 DX non VR which you get when you click the sort for cheaper at top bottom on the Adorama or B&H sites. Maybe Calumet. So I left it at a much higher rez than 1200 pixels on the long end so you can really see it when you click the zoom in button on the LUG gallery. The iso was 400 so there really was a lot of light in these window. And it makes for some real quality images. The windows at Bergdorf's which are the best I've ever seen anywhere have not been as good the past three of years. 09 and 10 and '11. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/
