kosmos -- Thanks. I'm glad you find the Leica shots interesting.
I like good glass, but honestly, the "recorder" is just as much, if not more, of the picture taking process and the final look. At least that's how I feel. A lot of the time, the lens is superfluous, as long as it is of a given quality level. For me, most Canon lenses are of that level, and certainly the vast majority of the "L". The Leica and Zeiss are also very high, as are most Voigtlander and some others. I suppose I'm odd among Alt participants, in considering the body (and computer!) to be so important in the final outcome.
Jabberwockt -- I post URL from Photobucket. Maybe using those services causes the resizing at the FM server?
