Thanks for the kind words, Dick. I really, really like that Lumix 7-14 ASPH. 
 I hadn't planned on buying one and picked it up on a whim just before I 
left. I'm glad I did, because it is simply wonderful.

I shot both cameras side by side and have similar shots taken on the M9 as 
well. I should say that the M9 performed flawlessly as well. One small 
inconvenience is that my lenses are not yet coded. But it only seems to 
matter with the Elmarit 21mm ASPH. I wish Leica had left the metering 
pattern alone. I prefer the old 7% spot to the new center-weighted pattern.

I will get some of the M9 shots up in the next week or so.

Best Regards - Jim
