TIA Ph Just did some quick tests for a friend: 35mm at infinity Leica M9, 35mm Summilux asph FLE at f2.0 and f5.6 Nikon D800E, Zeiss ZF.2 35mm f2.0 at f2.0 and f5.6 The Leica at f2.0 is comparable to the Zeiss at f5.6 50mm at ~1.4m Leica M9, Noctilux f1.0 at f1.0 Nikon D800E, Nikkor 50mm f1.2 AIS at f1.2 Looks like the Nikon 50mm back focused a little (was done by viewfinder rather than liveview), but the Noctilux sharpness and bokeh is far superior. The Nikon images are quite yellow compared to Leica and the Nikon tends to overexpose, I know to put it 1/3 to 2/3 under what it says but they are still a bit bright. john
