Thanks all for the compliments. I just printed this out on 11x17 paper and
it's quite nice. The colors are a bit unreal but it is what it is. They were
doing a performance art piece (more pics later).

While I am a lens pragmatist (i.e. I opted for the Ziess 85/2 instead of the
90/2AA because I care about close distance shooting), it's pretty darn cool
to have two lens and I can just about anything anywhere (50 and a 21 lux).
Add the 85/2 (or 75 or 90/2) and you have a complete kit to cover anything
that is suitable for a rangefinder.
