Anthony Mak says: Amazing detail, but heavy on the contrast - whilst it may be the post-processing style of this photographer, but there seems to be a trend of high contrast images when I was searching for candidates for this gallery, which leads me to suspect that high-contrast is a feature of this lens. Leica M Typ 240.

Anthony Mak says: This shot shows that despite its age, it handles direct sunlight pretty well. It's still showing great contrast and no veiling. A super shot! It plays well on a Sony NEX-7.
