I react strongly, as do other viewers, or so they say. However, I have never used the lens for portraiture. What woman of a certain age wants her every facial line, crow's foot and wrinkle emphasized so mercilessly? One day, I may try to find a grizzled cowhand to shoot in black and white, but until that opportunity comes my way, give me the ancient glass for what it does best. Joe Sobel
