Buzz, the apologies were not for how you look, which in that photo could have been a slightly dishelveled John Houseman in the Paper Chase, after a night partying. (What ? Professor Kingsfield partying ?) "Leica lenses make their reputation the old fashioned way.

Your lens is, of course, too good. The stubble I wore that night has long transformed into a proper beard. Buzz Jim, Have you used the 50mm 1.4, 85mm f1.8 or 135mm f2.0 ? I would be curious to hear your (and others') opinion on them. In mine, these are very good wide open. Here's a couple of handheld shot at 1.4 ISO 400: http://pdoan.home.attbi.com/Thanksgiving/crw_7889l-quang.htm http://pdoan.home.attbi.com/Thanksgiving/crw_7755l-yen.htm (In fact the entire Thanksgiving series were taken with the EF 50mm f1.4 lens, handheld on a D30. USM is on the conservative side for these) Here's another one, at a Boston LUG gathering last year (apologies to our own Buzz Hausner): http://www.pbase.com/image/18373529/original (USM is more aggresive on this one) - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
