I'm working hard currently to compose as well as I can using the whole frame or very nearly so. This shot was from car driver's seat to passenger's seat. I was impressed with the Delta 100 in DD-X. Now to see what I can do with xtol. This pic, I think shows just what you pay for in asph lenses, too. The clarity and lack of veiling, against the light is striking, I think. I have bonded well with this 50 now. Still can't use it wide open worth a damn. But then that's always been my experience at 1.4.

And lovely is understated. Personally I would tend to crop a bit of the top away, but for some this might be heresy.
