Hacker, thanks for your comments and images. You mention the 28 2.8 ASPH, and I have an older 28 2.0 ASPH (which has delightful contrast too). I am curious, since you suggest an overall rating: do you also have the 135 APO and can make a comparison with the 28 2.8 that you compare to the 18 SE?:) By transitive inference, it sounds like the 18 SE is as contrasty as the 135 APO, which I find to be just extraordinary (even if it is not so easy to use).

 

What lens did you use for the two-shot you just posted below your M8? So you still use both an M8 and an M9? How do you decide between the two? I noted that michael_b_elmer, who shares our tastes in glass, clearly prefers the M9.

 

The 135 APO is a great lens, and I had great difficulty focusing corectly on the M8 and M8.2. All other lenses worked properly. I almost sold it until I tried it on the M9. It works perfectly. :)

 

M9 over previous models. No UV/IR filters. The number of UV/IR filters I had were more than the camera itself. Go figure.....
