I'm often struck by your references to improving or upgrading technique, which you don't enlarge upon. Could you explain how one should upgrade one's technique to make the most of the higher specifications of new Leica lenses? I ask this on the list because I'm sure that the answers would be of interest to all of us. I wonder whether as a hand-holding documentary photographer, often forced to shoot 1/8 of a second, I can ever really get the most out of, for instance, the 35/1.4 asph. Of course, that in itself is a pretty subjective thing - I like the lens and it suits my needs as a snapper, and I also believe that I can see that it's superior to other lenses of the same length/aperture - but I'm curious to know what kind of technique would meet your standards, both as a lens tester and photographer.
