Ted is being a technical geek talking about lens qualities!!! We all know perfectly well that Ted could shoot with the bottom of a Coke bottle on his camera and make great pictures. Now Dr T, next time we get together I'll give you the new Summilux 35 ASPH on it to try out. You could try it on the new M! I had an opportunity to try some art nudes with professional models and was very impressed with how well the 35 worked (on my M9) in the very makeshift mini studio space. This is BW of course but don't look if nudity offends. http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/150709140 Cheers, Geoff Hopkinson http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman > > > 8. > Message: 8 > Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:12:44 -0400 > From: Chris Williams <zoeica at mac.com> > Subject: Re: [Leica] FS: Voigtl?nder 1.2/35mm Nokton > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Message-ID: <F9A7CBA3-B1E5-4094-8474-12AF74D2B01D at mac.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Gonna have to disagree with Ted on this one.
