Well you sent me about 8 of raw files of myself sitting at that table  at La 
Fonda in Santa Fe which I've been using the whole decade as head shots and 
they're sharp as a tack though with color which is an interesting challenge 
to balance maybe impossible as it was an M8 and no special filter.
Some  I think you took with a 35 1.4.  All sharp as heck wide open. Thanks 
again by the way!

    Mark, I remember sitting with you at a lunch table in Santa Fe about 15 
    years ago; I had my M8 with Noctilux. I was having trouble focusing it. 
    You picked it up, focused it instantly, and took a picture of me that 
    was sharp and focused.
    
    "It" might be good at nailing focus, but I am not.
