[Leica] Re:Monster High-tech 50mm 1.4 from Sigma and everyone else

Gene,

I started doing some side by side testing as a joke, thinking there'd be a 
huge difference. The main comparison I did was head and shoulder portraits 
in available light. Tripod mounted vs hand held had more impact than which 
lens I used, especially a lower shutter speeds. No surprise there. 

The 100E seemed to hold up, right down to the eyelashes. I'm not saying the 
100E is as good as the 90 R. It's just a lot closer in performance than I 
expected. Sometimes lenses show up. Other times they don't. A lot depends on 
the situation. For sure I have more confidence in the R lens.

Dave,


Interesting about your 100 Nikon E lens. ?I had one also and it was not even 
close to the performance of my 90 Elmarit R.
