I like your Summicron too. ;-) > [BOB KRAMER] Thank you kindly for the compliment! :-) To be honest, I actually like the work that I produce a fair amount of the time. And I love the actual "doing" of it all of the time. And my lens produces a sweet tonality to the image, and an ability to suck light out of nowhere that I never got with my 1.4 Nikkor. Maybe my initial comments relate more to my belief that people seem to fixate on resolution and image sharpness way too much of the time. If you want ultimate sharpness and are going to setup with a tripod and slow film any way (so you can get that ultimate sharpness), use a 4x5 camera! I don't like my Summicron more than my Nikkor because it is sharper - -- I really don't know if it is. But rather for the other qualities of the images it produces. Leica glass, Tri-X and Xtol... I love that stuff! Bob Kramer
