But I read between the lines. And looked it up. And I wish I knew how much Leica was really involved with the making of that lens. Was it really their baby? Or did they sell Panasonic their name. Or split the difference? I have a feeling it was really Leica. ISO 100! Grainless! What is an L1 tripod? I Googled it. Came up ziltch. Wide open 2.8 on a big fat zoom at 4 seconds on a tripod I'd have gone for stopping down one or two and gone with 8 or 16 seconds and hoped for a better glow. That's the beauty of tripod shooting. You have all those options. Love it when the people are blurry because they are shifting around. Which right now a few are on the right. Get a Gitzo. Mark William Rabiner
