A few snaps from Beijing with the 21ZM and M8. A great travel combo IMHO and my most used lens on this trip.

Wow. Flare not really an issue with this lens apparently. Nice shots. Pretty cool how the sun can be an interesting compositional element when you have a lens that can handle it.

It was overcast and hazy the entire trip so tried composing with the sun in some shots. The ZM seemed to handle it quite well. 🙂

Very promising! What strikes me, compared to my Canon 1Ds II, is the lack of AC and the dynamics from highlights to dark shaddow.

Yes, the CA is much better than the DSLR Canon glass I'm coming from and the DR is very good on the M8 especially considering that the ZM21 is a rather contrasty lens. Thanks for looking. A few more with the 21ZM...

im really impressed, got to love that zeiss glass. Im starting to come around on it, that great performance and low price is starting to smell nicer and nicer, so much so that I might forget my leica brand snobbery....
