I often use it for effect ;-) And as Geoff says, the S/S2 is another level of detail even compared to 75mm APO Summicron! However since I started using Leica, I have realised that lenses can have character which can be more important that absolute sharpness... john -----Original Message----- Thanks, Geoff. That's good to hear. And I also appreciate your response to my earlier about vignetting and autocorrection. I'm just starting to explore doing correction in post-processing. Makes you wonder what kind of images an M960 with the 50 'cron asph would produce! -howard On Mar 21, 2014, at 11:10 PM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi again Howard.
