Thanks Bob & Lluis. I realized after posting that the large file size was a
tad off in sharpness.
The B&W was less sharp than the color, the only difference was the
resolution, color was
150 pixel/inch & the B&W 240 from the 2.1 MB jpeg size. Or maybe I played
around with
the sliders too much. I liked the color one better as the oof colors show
up better.
While talking to her, I saw this composition of the background windows &
white doorframe
directing my attention to her face & CLICK.

Besides having old eyes, it is hard to focus with fast manual lenses wide
open on digital bodies.
My K10 had a different screen but I may have to get a Katzeye for it. The
focus assist  works
fairly well but absolute sharpness a hit or miss with it. I probably should
use f1.4 instead of wide open.
Or use my LX with film. I'm still learning this lens as only have it about
a year.

The woman I shot was happy with it, she's also a photographer & darkroom
printer, and sometimes,
that's all that counts. Mistakes & all.

Cheers,
Dennis
