They were OK. > The finish: Less than inspiring. I would agree regarding the finish, but -- as I just posted -- not about the image quality. If you wish to check out a raft of images shot with this lens, go to http://www.dysmedia.com/Photography/RoundUp.html, and keep clicking on the pictures to cycle through: many of the photos, including all of the carnival shots, were taken with the 75mm (including a night shot of kids shooting that shows off the qualities I described). And the black finish, btw, is significantly nicer than the silver (and this goes for all the Voigtlanders). I do want to try a 90mm Elmarit-M, however, to really do a comparison with the best that Leica has to offer; it could be that I'm just sitting in Plato's cave, chained to face the wall... cheers, Douglas Cooper http://www.dysmedia.com
