Re: Leica 100mm APO macro - hard to beat


Wayne ... your butterfly is up there with the ribs ... both look so NATURAL.

Jim ... I just picked up the M645 80mmm/4 Macro ... and a new FotoDiox adapter. That\'s as close as I can get to the Leica ... for now

Dan ... captivating shot ... strangely discomforting & alluring at the same time ... nice.



Okay, question ... what is it about Leica that I can drool over shots for their ability to look so \'natural\' ... then dislike shots from the same lens that exhibit the \'Leica glow\' ... which BTW, I respect and understand to be desirable for its uniqueness?

Is there a specific technique / aperture / working distance etc. that renders the \'Leica glow\'? Sometimes I find it really lovely, but I\'m confused as to why / how a lens can seem to have a \'split personality\' ... and how to best control (use, not eliminate) it?
