[Leica] 13 sample portraits using my Elmar 90 f/4 LTM on a IIIf

[Richard Man]

What you guys don't know is that y'all need a Leica M Monochrom. It's the
greatest B&W camera ever. Angels sing when I push that shutter. Oh wait, it
could just be me hearing voices.

Anyway, I have an El Cheapo 90/2.8 Elmarit M E46 version. It can be very
sharp when stopped down, but very pleasant at 2.8.
