I'm afraid to ask if the picture is >really that good or was it the quality of the lens?? Ting...Is it the lens???? BU**SH** the lens DID NOT TAKE THE PHOTO. You did. All the lens and camera are are tools nothing more. They are inanimate pieces of glass and metal. Just because it is a Leica lens and one stop faster than most other camera makers make is no reason to give the lens some kind of supernatural abilities. Believe me if David Turnley liked your photos enough to ask you to shoot photos of him and his kid then you definitely are doing something right. Keep up the good work and don't be shy about taking credit for good work. >The bummer of the week: >He call me on Thursday and ask if I want to document he and his 5 yr old son >on Friday (visiting from S.
