[Leica] IMG: Two with a Leica 50mm

[Jim Nichols]

Choosing a 50mm can be a challenge.  The Canon 50/1.4 is crisp, and has 
beautiful close-up bokeh.  But its close focus distance is 3 ft.  The 
Leica Summicron-R 50/2 will focus to 18 inches, but the bokeh is not 
quite as smooth.  Here are a couple of early morning shots with the 
Summicron.

The little Skipper has large eyes that seem to see in all directions.

After Barney posted a Spider Lily yesterday, I looked around, and, sure 
enough, found a couple.  This is not as clean as Barney's shot with the 
nice black background, but illustrates the Summicron's bokeh.
