I kept postponing using an old summicronR on the Canon. Fearsome I guess that the Leica lens would turn out to be inferior to the Canon lenses.Trying to focus track on the butterflies in the garden with the long throw summicron proved quite a challenge. Nevertheless the high ISO and blindingly fast speed of the MarkIII produced some passibles I hope. What i like to believe is that the Leica lens produces a way more brilljant picture then the canon lenses. I would very much like to hear your opinion on this. The fullframes were all converted from Raw with DPP in the same manner if i recall correctly ;contrast minimum to keep detail , maximum sharpness and luminosity noise reduced at 20, the pics are all here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/animal/ brilliance is best illustrated here http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/animal/leuwin.JPG.html bokeh here http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/animal/vlinderff.JPG.html and my favourate action shot here http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/animal/vl3ff.JPG.html all the best,simon
