[Leica] Who would put the Q2 up against the 100/2.8 APO Macro?

[Aram Langhans]

Thanks Jim and Sonny.  The increased DOF of the 28 vs the 100 does make for 
an interesting comparison.

Just for more perspective on the topic, here is a side-by-side comparison of 
1:1 view in Lightroom of both.

And here is the full frame of the Q2 with no crop.

I agree with Jim, but then I favor cropped high Rez to macro.
