I am interested in the quality of the pictures for both close-up and far away subjects. How do the image rendering capabilities of this lens compare to a longer Leica R-lens (e.g. 35mm/f1.4)? Sharpness, flare suppression, etc. I have the 35mm/f1.4 and like the results that I get (after changing the focusing screen to a uniform ground glass per Ted's advice. Thank you Ted.). Can I expect the performance of the 19mm/f2.8 Elmarit-R to be on par with my 35mm/f1.4 Summilux-R? Thanks in advance for the info. Regards, PC - -- Pitak Chenkosol, Dept.
