[Leica] New 21mm summilux bokeh

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

I can only provide information on the 21 Summilux, but I am extremely 
happy with all aspects of it's performance, including bokeh. It's 
smooth, with soft transitions on out of focus highlights. Completely 
unobtrusive and smooth. I had a chance to try the M9 at Seattle (I 
also borrowed the new Noctilux) and the M9 showed off the 21 
beautifully. If I ever needed a reason to want the M9, that lens was 
it.

Maybe sometime next year.
