You of all people I don't want to offend. And like I said, I might be coming home again soon! :-) >Is it something you can see in the daily paper?

There are many times when there is no difference. Like when it's shot in bright light, and good available light. But when it comes to the really nasty light, there are times when my Leicas pulled nice looking pictures out of a situation that lesser lenses just can't match. And I'm talking quality Nikon and Canon lenses. Not the cheap stuff. Though I do have to say the 60 Micro is very Leica-like, just warmer. And I have to note, the 35mm Summilux R is a standout lens, even in the Leica line. It's better than the Summicron and the Elmarit and just a hair behind the Summilux Aspheric in image quality. I loved that lens, and have several pictures hanging on my wall from that lens that are really superb in image quality. (That's not the only reason I hang them, the pictures themselves have merit too <g>). Funny thing, the light was always difficult in every one of those pictures. I think I like bad light. - --------------------- Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR How do I set my laser printer on stun?
