Hi Nathan and all,

So just standard processing, more or less. That confirms my suspicion: your
'main' picture was outstanding already in the camera!

Yeah, I'm aware of that line. It's quite interesting to see Leica lowering
(a bit ;-) prices while Cosina-Voigtländer is increasing them... it's going
to be a big fight in the rangefinder scene!

Of course, but still lower than Leica is used to.

We have a great sample there. I think it's OK for a lens to cut a bit on
mechanics and/or finish while keeping top-notch optics. In fact, a couple of
the best Nikon lenses I have tried are from their comparable 'Series E'
(35/2.5 and 100/2.8)
Cheers,
