'Drawing' of leica's 35 1.4 asph and 24 2.8?

If it's any help, whilst I know you can only glean so much from a JPG view on a screen, these are shots I took that I think typify the differences between the lenses I mentioned.

It's worth noting that I often like to isolate my subjects by shooting at wide apertures (often fully open) so a lenses OOF characteristics are quite important to me.

And finally a couple of test shots I did a 35/1.2 Nokton and a 35/.15 Canon (with identical/minimal processing) both on M8 shot wide open. I found the difference quite surprising.

lenses don't draw anything. Luckily, since it would take an awful lot of time.
Lenses project damn images.

The 28 is too "clinical", the 35 is too narrow, the 24 is too wide, how about forgetting Leica then alltogether?
There are zoom lenses in the 24-105 mm range that are definitely not "clinically sharp"

Bravo! - Pherdinand!....I thought it was just me that is tireing of all the cr*p that is being posted on RFF lately! LOL! :D
 
Bob, those are super shots, thanks very much for posting them, i especially like the first b&w.
Cheers

I don't have any experience with the 24mm but I'm loving my 35mm lux ASPH. It delivers images just the way I like them.
