I was only so carried away by all nice things to photograph. Hans (thanks for your good wishes), You exactly name the point on which we suffer most of the times ... that action changes too rapidly. And, although the M is a very fine example of craftsmanship, she's slower than an R/SL in the action with lenses above 35 mm, unfortunately. Still wonder, how HCB or Eisenstadt succeeded to take some of their very special pix - with screw mount Leicas and 2 different windows for RF and viewer. I agree on the outstanding sharpness of the 1.4/35 asph Summilux at f 1.4 or f 2.0, I have some fine examples myself. And let's not forget both examples on Eric's web site, which show the asph. Summilux's performance really persuading also. I just wished, there was a Noctilux comparision example of his violence.jpg at f 1.0 also, or a corresponding 1.4/75 Summilux pic at f 1.4. But, that would be unreasonable and injust to the very situation, of course. Looking for your scanns, Alf
