Silver Machine

Was it the light, which was wonderful, the fact that I've found the "sweet" apertures for these lenses, that my constant tweaking of my "Leica M9 simulation" preset for Adobe Camera Raw has finally produced what I'm looking for or simply the fact that these are great lenses, that produced a set of wonderful images yesterday?

This was the first time that I had been out for some serious shooting with this combination, and I was mightily impressed. Beautiful colour, and really sharp.

The resolution was just incredible, though unfortunately flickr reproduction doesn't do it justice.

I just wasn't expecting these to be SO good. My love hate relationship with Olympus Pens is definitely heading back towards the former!
