[Leica] The big event

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

Here is the Summilux on an M8 on the left; then the WATE on an M7, 
the 21/2.8 ASPH on an M6 and the CV21 on the other M8. My 21/3.4 SA 
is away for a bit, so it didn't get to pose.

>The 21 Summilux has arrived. He held the price even though the 
>Canuck buck has sunk a fair ways since I ordered it, so I managed a 
>20% discount.

>The lens looks great; everything seems as good as hoped for from my 
>short time with one at Photokina. Nice feel to everything, with 
>slightly heavy focussing that I'll try to limber up as soon as 
>possible. The UV/IR filter had come in a couple of months ago, so I 
>have that as well.

>I'll be shooting on the M8's mostly, but also on the M6.

>First indications are that using the aperture only influences dof 
>and vignetting; other image parameters are for all practical 
>purposes the same at any f-stop, and it performs essentially 
>identically to the 21/2.8 ASPH at common apertures.
