I don't shoot B&W, therefore the monochrome signature of Leica lens is irrelevant to me. The Leica lens might not be as crispy sharp as the old Nikons I used to have, but for some reasons, the colors are just more appealing. In portraits or in candid photography, the skin-tones of both Asiatic or European subjects are very pleasant to my eyes. On the similar color spectrum, bright red, however seems to be a bit too intense. This signature shows in all the color films I use. While Nikon lens is a bit cool in nature, I find I like the "reds" produced from Nikon lens. This is nick-picking, but I cannot help noticing it. Perhaps the Leica color "glow" that we all find appealing has this side-effect when it comes to "red". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
