Following my acquisition of this gem of a lens, I managed to use it for 
the first time last Sunday at the Fairford Steam Rally.
I actually managed to get over my normal reticence when photographing 
strangers and just kept plugging away with the lens.
I was quite pleased with my hit rate.

The majority of the pictures were taken at f1.1, though I did stop the 
lens down to see how it fared as a general-purpose lens.  Suffice to 
say, it performed admirably.

The pictures, which are all taken on a Leica M8, can be seen at

I am very pleased with this lens.  I think it's the beginning of a very 
happy relationship.

I hope you enjoy the images.


As usual, comments and criticism are welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Regards


Mark
