[Leica] PAW 24 dlridings (Daniel Ridings)

Daniel, I think that you have demonstrated some of the strengths of the lens
design with clarity, absence of flare and veiling glare in these fine
backlit images. Exactly the properties that have entranced me as I learn to
use my 90.

I also agree with your assessment on the close up performance.
Not a lot going wrong shooting at f4 either! (Another compelling Leica glass
argument)  
I bet those images look fantastic printed at their full quality. You've
inspired me to try some B/W portraits next.

Go the LNUG

Cheers
Hoppy

LNUG = "Leica Nut's ..." :-)

I wanted to try the Tele-Elmarit out in demanding situations. In
almost all of these I was putting the sun behind them, strong back
lighting. I figured if it was going to flare or lose contrast, that
would do it. But it held up.

In the last one I wanted to see if its reputed lack of sharpness at
closest distances was anything I would ever notice. All of these are
only stopped down to f4 and I have another one wide open at 2.8. For
my part, the lack of sharpness at close range is theoretical.

Thanks, Daniel
