Hi All,
I posted these images to another forum in response to a question about if the Leica 90mm is better than the Canon 85L mkII. I had both the Canon 85 and my Leica 80 'lux but sold the canon because the leica was sharper at every aperture and had nicer bokeh and color. Here's an out take from a shoot that I did yesterday that I can share to show the merits of the leica optic in case any of you were curious.

First the whole image - resized - remember this is an unedited out take from a session and I didn't even bother to white bal.

Now the 100% crop which has capture level sharpening

Camera was DMR
Cry? No it was just very hot in the studio.
