If this message came through twice, please forgive me. An Internet  
glitch.


I know that I'm supposed to be seeing some differences in quality and  
rendering, and possibly bokeh, with the Summitar and Summicron lenses  
used by Luis to take these pictures, but on my laptop screen the  
image quality is almost identical. The pictures are all good - but  
hardly show any differences that can be ascribed to lenses. With the  
exception of the 21 mm Elmarit lens, all could be taken with a normal  
lens on almost any quality 35mm camera, even my Rollei 35. The  
composition and human interest aspects of Luis' photography are up to  
their usual excellent standard but viewing the pictures on a 12"  
screen leads me to wonder if Leica glass is really worth the bother  
for Internet presentation. Or is it my eyes and judgment?
