You demonstrate that well with your pictures!I was also concerned about how I would be able to process MM images for contrasty shadows, as I occasionally would hollow out the middle grays. Seems that won't be an issue either. I was able to boost the extremes without sacrificing the mid-tones.
After reading Sean Reid's review I upgraded my monitor in order to discern those middle grays....I was also concerned about how I would be able to process MM images for contrasty shadows, as I occasionally would hollow out the middle grays.

The force is strong in this one ...
Great to have two Woodys active here. I've shot this Church many times with varieties of equipment. Not surprisingly the "glow" tends to obscure the highlight details making the image more graphic. At least part of the glow comes from the slight haze on this lens - so there's more glow than the designers would have anticipated. If I could find a perfect copy of this lens I would buy it in a flash (especially now that I've invested in the Orion adapter).Woody
Talk about old lens glow! This one, and the shot you posted with the white lettering on the sign almost radiate!
Great stuff

+1! Dave, all the accolades you've received are richly deserved and I'd certainly like to add my own. It's a combination of your photography skills and photographic eye combined with your mastering of B&W imagery with the Lecia MM thats so effective. It's a synergy thats truly enhances the imact of your images. Nicely done!Echoing what everyone else has said, great work, Dave. You have mastered the MM and you have defined your look very well. That last shot rocks!!!
