Fahim,

I'm impressed by both the rich green of the place and the way this lens writes so well! I realize how great lenses can be when it is able to draw an entire mountainside full of rich details so well.

Fabulous work........and do we also thank Leica?

Asher, Wolfgang, Antonio.

Thank you guys for stopping by and the comments.

Asher, yes it was taken with a cron 28mm asph.

Antonio, Morocco has intense and varied colors, depending on which region/city one visits..

Is this the 2.0? Yes that fabulous. I have been looking at the 2.8 as it's half the price and so tiny!

My 2.0 Distagon of the Contax film era is also fabulous but 2.5 x the size.

What impresses me is that Leica lenses actually deliver the resolution and contrast needed for such detail-rich landscapes. Actually, this would be a perfectly good people lens too, but most folk don't realize that!

This hillside, roof scene and intensely rich colors are so well captured with your lightweight, but so stellar a setup!

...........and this is still the "heritage" of one of the finest camera manufacturers in prewar and World War II Germany and since then. The man and his family practiced as admirable human values in each period of their lives as the precision and genius put into their cameras.

Asher, the elmarit-m 28mm asph ( 28/2.8 ) is a cracker of a lens in a tiny package. If I had not bought this 28/2, I would have definitely gone for the f2.8

It is a bit contrasty though, but that is to my liking. Just have to watch for both sides of the
Histogram.

You cannot go wrong with either one...however, I find 28mm to much for my general shooting on a ff.
Besides the price, one of the main reasons I just am not interested in the Leica Q.
