[Leica] IMG: Playing with New Lens

[Jim Nichols]

Hi, Nathan,

I have noticed the sharpness, as well as the lack of halos, in these 
images.  I believe that I will like it just fine.

As for portraits, supposedly handled well by this lens, I will await a pretty subject before offering an opinion.  (The f/2 version is specifically designed for portraits, but I chose the f/2.8 to keep the weight down.)
