Andrew, those 75 Lux shots are great!
Airfrogusmc, you look like the people you photograph!
Charles, the photos of your god daughter just pop off the page. Especially like #2
Edward, #3 is great, the bright colours of the clothing contrast nicely against the rest of the scene.

Ryan, the middle penguin shot is superb! May I ask which lens did you use?
Thanks! All the animal shots are with the 90 AA.

Ryan, good set from the zoo. How do you like the 90 AA by the way?
I'm really just getting to know the 90 AA right now. I found it almost impossible to use without a viewfinder magnifier, even the 1.25 didn't seem to help me much. The 1.4x has made a really big difference and I'm using it on a daily basis to get my skill level up,
Allen and Joe, thank you very much
Edward, very nice shot with the ZM 85! Love the rendering with this lens. I would choose the ZM 85, almost over the 75 Lux... almost
Ryan, excellent examples of lighting! Very nice.
Charles, Allen, thank you very much for your nice comments!
Charles, there is no way the Tele-Tessar could compete with the Summilux, especially with 3 f/stops difference, and the typical Lux rendering. But for an f/4 lens, I think it draws very nice.
Ron, Charles, Zhanyue.. thanks for the explanation on off center focusing on the M9, really helpful. A new guy in the office turns out owning an M9, I guess I will try his shortly to really find out what its like. A good thing is I can borrow his M9 for two whole weeks
I received the C-Sonnar quite late in the evening, so I only shot a couple of test shots. My first impression is that I don't like it so much Being used to the 50 Planar clinical look even wide open, it's difficult to adjust backwards. It's character reminds me of the ZE 50 Planar, but probably the ZM is a bit sharper and contrastier wide open. I will try to get along with the C-Sonnar and learn how to use its strengths in the next few days. By the way, it is calibrated for f/1.5.
