Most were taken at f8or f11, some with flash, most outside on the golf course, others behind the house in obviously bright light. Almost all of people, a few landscapes. Results very satisfactory...extremely sharp and contrasty as we have grown to expect with Leica glass. In a few comparison images taken over a lake behind the house I can see little to no difference to those taken with the new 28mm at similar aperture. Of course, the images were not enlarged ( standard photo finishing ), and I was guessing with the framing when using the 28 setting on the EEE. Frame lines otherwise come up quickly, lens snaps into place at the appropriate focal length without problems. So far, so good. Nice to have the convenience of three focal lengths. One small inconvenience, however, is the lack of cover to fit over the shade ( decided to get the shade after all ). Have thought it prudent to remove the shade and attach the lens cover when storing the lens in my small Domke, but will almost certainly store the lens with shade and shade cap when the latter arrives. For low light I will take the 35/1.4. When traveling might well add the 21 Asph. Can understand those who report that they have not taken the EEE lens off very often. JMHO, and an amateur at that!
