The 40mm Focotar has been around for a long time. Is it possible that your lens is suffering from initial fungal growth? Check it with a bright flashlight just in case. If that's not it, you must either have blurry paper or blurry developer... ;-) JB PS... could it be on the neg that way? Could it be your camera lens? Have you looked at your negs with a high power loupe, at least 10x ? _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
