Eric,

I spent my holiday photographing my two new nephews (9 months old and 5 =
weeks old), primarily using my 75 Summilux.  I know just how you feel.  =
:-)
Most of my shots were wide open as well.  Love this lens.....

I got my 75 Summilux today. Took it to lunch with a bunch of women (I =
was
the token male) and while eating saw this 18 month old boy look over the
partition at a lady eating. Was so cute I had to shoot it (and it's =
running
in the paper tomorrow). Shot wide open with Kodak Ektapress 400. =
Probably
1.4 at 1/250 sec. When I scanned the picture in I was amazed. The tonal
modulation was gorgeous. The neon lights in the background glowed. The
colors were saturated. This is truly a Leica lens with the "glow" and
"character" that people talk about.

I already love it and plan to put it to good use!
