It is the 90mm that seems to catch the sparkle and provide a narrow slice of clear images that really get your attention - especially for tight portraits. The 90mm Summicron has its fair share of bokeh. I also use the 50mm Noctilux wide open. It gives a rather soft look due to so much of the image exists beyond the central depth of field. It is a very different optic. Tremendous potential in the hands of a good photographer. I'm still getting used to it. Since shooting Leica lenses, I have moved to shooting the lenses as wide open as possible - to use all of that wonderful available light and to limit the depth of field. I really don't want everything in focus anymore. Perhaps I'm finally developing my own style of photographing. Richard - ------------------------- Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA
