As long as you don't bang them going through a door out of whack. They look embarrassing but they make very good images. Though I've not used one in over a year there is not kit glass for full frame. I was shooting this thing on P so it was wide open which was 5.6 at 20mm which means everything front to back is sharp as hell. I could not even believe it. That's also an advantage to shooting cropped. Its ten times harder for me to get it all with my 24-85 full frame glass which in comparison weights a ton. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:52:05 -0600 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] High Rez Bergdorf's window > > Very nicely captured, Mark.
