My question, I suppose, is *what* is it that makes this lens so exciting? The sharpness at infinity? Or do you like the bokeh? (I'm having a hard time deciding whether I do. Certain moderately out-of-focus areas seem nicely blurred; radically out-of-focus backgrounds are a bit deranged.) And Marc, to change the subject slightly, does your estimable friend use the RTS I, II or III? (I *am* satisfied with my RTS I; it's a lovely piece of machinery, and to my mind much more finely crafted than, say, a Nikon FE2, with which it shares many specifications.) Sorry to drift so far from Leicaland... cheers, Douglas Cooper
