Sharpness of this shot : maybe it's just that light bringing contrast on the weathered face after all? I find zooms used to be necessary when shooting slides ;-) Now I could just crop. OTT: My Angenieux's performed better than most prime lenses of the time too. Travelling lighter is another side of the story; bad back, cabin luggage, fumbling in the bag and all.
