Personally, I never found F2 very sharp (blasphemy I know!) even with the Summilux, but hey that's just my opinion. I shoot generally in the mid apertures. - -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Wajsman [mailto:nathan.wajsman@euronet.be] Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 1998 2:11 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Luggers are dangerous Peter, Well, the line between NEED and WANT is fine at times. I do like to take pictures in marginal lighting situations, like pubs, and during the winter in Northern Europe, light conditions are quite marginal even outdoors during the day. Since switching to Leica in late spring, I am finding myself shooting the various lenses at full aperture quite frequently. This is part of the Leica attraction, to be able to shoot at f2 or f1.4 or now f1.0 with full confidence.
