I got one of those 2.8/90 M and you take a few pics and just go
"ooooo" and "aaaah."

Nothing special, just 2 Web jpegs of a pretty girl and some new tennis
shoes, but here's a few 2.8/90 M shots.

In the pretty girl pic, you can see the aperture blades, but absolutely 
no "donut
holes" in the specular highlight bokeh.

Damn Leica and their lenses. They're just so damn good.
