Thanks Charles, Luka, Doug, Ryan 
Charles, like #2 & 3 shots on second set. Very nice with the 75Lux.
Luka, you are really in your element with the 90Cron. All very nice shots and extra points for the customary duck shots! My favorites are #3, 4 and the second last tree shot. Its nice to see a not so "serious" side of you on the 5th shot. Really nice lens. Even at f/2 this lens looks good. It could be just me, but I see similar a rendering signature to the 35 Lux ASPH v1 especially on the tree & bench shot.
Ron, you have a cool bunch of friends!
Phil, nice shots. #1 is my favorite, love the dreamy rendering, almost large format like. Is this a Noct?
Ryan, my favorites are #5, 7 & 8. #5 with the bin and woman on the steps is very nicely done, classic street photography. I like this one best. I immediately thought of Andre Kertesz:

Joe, again, a nice capture. How did you get that close with a 35 without the people sitting there noticing they were being photographed?
 I learned a bit from watching HCB and Winogrand. Watch this, although your shutter speed has to be at least 1/125 or 1/250. If you are not patient, start at 3:30 on the first video. With HCB, its similar but he is quintessential Parisien, he moves with such poetry and grace, really smooth.

It helps with f/8 and zone focusing, this way I can quickly bring the camera up and shoot fast, but not to the level of the maestros. I'm quite comfortable with the 35FOV and I can frame it quite accurately before lifting the camera to the eye. I'm not a pro but I think the key is to know what you want to photograph/frame beforehand, the rest is, well some say luck, some say providence, and some say AMEN.

Doug - SEP2 is not entirely bug free and takes tons of processing speed. Really slow on my computer. I had to call tech support and change video drivers on my laptop, else it won't even load correctly. If you are running a custom video driver (Dell, IBM, etc) you will have problems as this is what I learnt from them. I suggest you call them on Monday.

Transferred some pics from the SD Card this evening.

Wide open it's what I hoped for but stopped down it really exceeds all my expectations. While traces of CA (purple fringing) can still be found at f/5.6, the micro contrast is off the chart. And the colors are amazing. 
Joe, Charles...not sure how you guys do it so well. I admire your work even more now
