Nathan,
   I think the pictures have a softness to them for several reasons,
the pics were cropped somewhat, and I think the 800 film seems to scan
with a little less edge than the 400 and 200, I use for other things.
Another is that the 90 tele-elmarit lacks crispness; It is, in this
case, a look that I like. Here's a shot from the same afternoon that
is a little crisper, and less cropped.

I was out spending the afternoon shooting with my Leica CL and the 90
Tele-elmarit at 2.8 as much as I can, trying to street-shoot.  As you
know, I live in a nearly rural area, so I don't get the rich street
life very often as a target for my photography.

Thanks for your comments and insight.
Regards,
Sonny
