I struggled to find images still uploaded. all of this small gallery is G photos. The tiny TLA 200 flashgun on camera in a big , open museum. The link is from the 28, Note the distortion performance out to the edges. This is good glass design. All of the portrait stuff I tried with the 90 was brutally sharp and contrasty. One might say Solms sharp. You'll get to try the 45 for yourself. I was vastly impressed with mine. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/b/b1.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/yntaw6 Cheers Geoff -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Jayanand Govindaraj Sent: Thursday, 29 November 2007 22:43 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] OT - Contax G1 Dan/Hoppy/Eric, Thanks for the feedback. I will run a roll through the camera when I get it tomorrow and then decide. IMHO if the 45mm lens is as good as everyone says it is, the price is OK - can you imagine getting a Summicron for anything like this price?
