You're quite correct in that the pics aren't taken on my Minolta scanner. That's just how they come up in the EXIF off the scanned negs in Vuescan & LR2.6. In 9 the face is distorted somewhat. I thought about cropping it; probably I should have shot this with my 35 lux, but the guys in the pic were a little bit unsavoury to say the least. So it was shot from the hip with the 15CV. I was quite surprised how easy it was to shoot the 15CV from the hip. Of course, you can just pre-focus and allow DOF in the lens to do the rest.
