The fellow made a casual comparison between two lenses he had on hand and posted them for others to see. No need to jump down his throat, is there? Is he implying that the Nocton is a better lens than any Leica of comparible focal length and aperture based on these photos? I'll admit, I didn't spend that much time at the site because the comparison wasn't one of particular interest to me. I did flip over to it because of some of the comments he garnered here. Those that mentioned bits they thought were missing were giving Matt a hand, from what I could tell. I've gotta go test my cheap new Japanese 15mm. ciao, Tim - -- Tim Spragens http://www.borderless-photos.com
