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. http://www.sonc.com/jackson.htm 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.
