New (to me) lens

I just received a Leica 28mm f/2 Summicron ASPH (previous version), a lens I've wanted for quite some time now. Here are the first shots. A little pre-dawn walk at Riverwalk park in Bakersfield, CA. All shots on Leica M-E (M9) with minimal post.

Moody, like them. Though I would not TEST a new lens that way. I'd look for sharpness testing first (say with a real scene). Your lens from that does look like it will have good color saturation and contrast in normal light though. Good deal!

Its a modern Leica aspherical lens. I already know it will be sharp.

Thanks all for the kind words. I've since used this lens in daylight on the M Monochrom at the same place and the results are equally good.
This one is a keeper.
