Richard,
I should have said just plain out of focus shots, there's little of the crispness I get from my Nikon or indeed my Leica film cameras,

I think you are right. This is a combination of a new (to me) sharp modern Leica lens, 28 2.8 ASPH, stabilized by the hood against the window at 1/125s. At bigger sizes it is still stunning the sharpness and detail. At this shutter speed, even with the wide angle, I don't think the photograph would have been nearly so crisp without anchoring the camera.

But the web doesn't do it justice. I can see the detail of the crane and the windows on the most distant building.

Here's another that is sharp. This is the 135 wide open f4 at probably 1/1000s - I haven't checked: [edit: in fact 1/250s; maybe the mass of M9 and Tele-Elmar is more stable.]

Of course, sharpness is also a lot about contrast: here is the 28 again, also at 1/250s

...and again the web is not doing this shot full justice. Maybe the larger size in the new gallery will be a good place to look at these things.
 
Kennylovrin- Thanks for sharing these here. I particularly like the middle one. If you could post it solo and larger that would be cool -just thinking aloud not trying to make work for you🙂

Icebear, very nice moment and fun color there. I am just speculating but wouldn't the subject here stand up to the frame uncropped?

Thanks! I think the easiest would be to just go here and have a look:

It should allow you to go fairly big as I upload in iPad resolution to Flickr. 🙂
