The first (M9-P, 35/1.4/ASPH): http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gcr910/2013/21+January+2013+Morning.jpg.html is making me a bit crazy. Know the ice is over-sharpened (for emphasis); the horizon, though, keeps measuring straight when I overlay grid lines but looks slightly skewed on-screen. Think it's the shading from white-grey-blue, but would appreciate someone with sharper eyes than mine -- or whose bifocals have a newer prescription than mine -- giving it a look. Happy to send a larger file off list, if anyone is interested in that much effort. This is another look at pretty much the same scene shot maybe an hour or so earlier (M9-P, 75/1.4) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gcr910/2013/21+January+2013.jpg.html The 75/1.4 used took a bounce a week or two back (at least got my foot under it to cushion some of the shock) and is going in for checking later this week; seems sharp, but nicked the lens barrel in a few places and haven't a clue where the red alignment dot for mounting the lens got to. Comment. Critique. Tell me how to get 'em right (other than not dropping a lens, of course). Thanks in advance for feedback and help. Time now to brave the brisk air. Greg Rubenstein
