now some noise… 🙂 Very nice picture Peter. And the rendering of your summilux is just incredible for a 24mm!
Thank you Luiz. As I’ve previously written, I wasn’t expecting too much from this lens, based on the sample images I’d seen on the web. But, wow, I can’t believe how good it is… not sure if I just have a really good example of it, or whether they’re all like this. What I appreciate most is the combination of how sharp it is at the point of focus, and how smooth the bokeh is everywhere else (foreground and background). In contrast, the 35/1.4 FLE was fantastically sharp, but was prone to rendering “nervous” bokeh depending on the background. Still, I miss that lens… I miss most of the Leica lenses I’ve ever sold 🙂
nice one 🙂
those wide angle Luxes are temting. At the moment i am just using the cheap Voigländer 21, but it is a lot of fun to use.

I never had the pleasure of using the CV 21, but I can vouch for the Zeiss ZM 21/2.8. It’s probably the most balanced wide angle for the M system, with just enough speed.
