Nice image from a great lens.  I have one but have not adapted it to my 
Nikon yet.  It was my first Leica lens.  It may be an earlier generation, 
but Leica glass is always a few generations ahead of the "competition".

I studied the Fujinon 90, supposedly a great lens in its own right, and
the Elmarit-R 90, finally choosing the R 90 because it was optically
corrected rather than corrected with firmware.  It's an earlier
generation than today's glass, but seems to serve me well.
