I am talking in particular about the more expensive Zuiko: 2/21, 2/50 macro and 2/100 I used to have them for a few years. These are truly amazing in all respects. However now that I can compare them with Summicrons-M 35 asph and 50 and Elmarit 2.8/90, I can say that the contrast of Leica's lenses are deeper, esp. at b/w prints. Also the very subtle details of the image are more pleasant, almost graphical, drawing-like. I can't find words to describe it. Those Zuiko were superb, but Leica is slightly different, having a kind of better, more attractive style. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
