Alistaire, Are you sure they did it on purpose? :-) Okay, they did it once. But the 90 Summicron is not unsharp, for one, and second, was never marketed as a "portrait" lens or a "soft focus" lens. A friend of mine has a Hama Soft focus lens that cost $79 in 1981. It makes beautiful SF pictures. And with a T mount could be put on an R camera. :-) - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition.
