Steve, the second one with Leica 90 is absolutely gorgeous!! Makes me wanna get the lens!!
I always liked that lens too. I sold it earlier this year and replaced it with the Leica 90 elmarit (i.e., f/2.8), which I like just as much if not a bit better. I very much like the colours (or more technically the colour separation) from the Leica lenses.
Flypenfly, the first one is definitely a wall hanger! Didn't know you can get such a shot with the 21mm.
Steve, have you compared the 90 summicron or elmarit with the Zeiss MF 100/2? I just got the 100/2 and I'm very impressed with its bokeh. Not sure how distinct the rendering is between these and I'm hesitant to invest in 2 of similar focal length.

No, I haven't compared either of the Leica lenses to the Zeiss MP 100 f2, but I plan to get the Zeiss next year and then I will do a comparison. The Leica lenses and especially the elmarit are a lot smaller than the Zeiss MP, so even if they are not as good as the Zeiss MP (which I doubt they will be), will still be nice for some situations when I would prefer to take a smaller lens.

I love how this lens requires minimal PP, nothing I normally do is needed, heh, nor works!
Just have to adjust noise and sharpening, love it.
Truely my best bokeh monster!
