[Leica] M8 and 75 Summilux, the DAS study

[dstella1 at ameritech.net (Dante Stella)]

Ok.  Been testing the 75 Summilux with an M8.  Seems like a pretty  
steep learning curve so far.

Without my asking suggestive questions, can users of this camera and  
lens combination comment on the following:

1.      Any techniques that tend to make the focus more accurate (aside  
from using a magnifier)?

2.      The general imaging characteristics of this lens (i.e., what  
classic lenses, if any, have you observed it resemble; do you have  
any greater or lesser need to apply sharpening)?

3.      Any observed variance in focusing accuracy with distance?


Thanks!
