Yes, this lens has a very special signature and it performs very well with the M8, there is a while I'm using this lens http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/La+Rambla/L1004427_1bw.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/luisrq/El_Raval/L1004457_1BW.jpg.html my last posting "Red Rose" was with this lens too. I like very much how it performs and as you say the signature, the only problem is that it is not fast to be operated by me Cheers Lluis El 04/05/2013, a las 16:34, Robert Adler escribi?: > As I am not as quick as you in my street photography, but more importantly > as I do not have the guts that you do, I find a tripod very helpful in > knocking my subjects out.
