[Leica] OT: Recent debate on crop v FF - files I had promised to Mark and john

[lluisripollphotography at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Philippe,

I?ve not followed the debate but viewing the files my first impression is 
always for the first shot of every pair.

However I?m not a person with a technical knowledge neither concern to 
discuss very fine performances of a lens, what I can appreciate is flare, 
contrast / smoothness, warm or cold rendition, bokeh effect ?., for me it is 
more difficult appreciate and discuss about coma, distortion, vigneting?.

As you know I have a certain small collection of 50?s and I like play with 
them, I think we can always say that for a precise circumstance a lens will 
be better than another, but for me, my conclusion is that the better lens is 
that you was using at the moment you shoot the picture. If we was studio or 
landscape photographers, I see a reason to hoose the best lens for that 
purpose, at least on my case is not my  concern.

Amiti?s
Lluis
