Greetings to all.  Last February I had the privilege of waiting in line on
a blustery winter morning.  I was using my Canon 50mm 0.95 and really
enjoyed the way it painted the scene.  The first one I just caught her as
the wind picked up:

Another layer and the teeth still chattered:

Looking the other way I found my friend sitting on the ground being stoic:

Taking two steps closer you can see that the lens designer had designed a
correction for "portrait" distance:

All the best.
