The lens is usually at f/4 or 5.6. (This particular Elmar–an LTM lens, by the way, mounted on my M2 via adapter–goes from f/3.5 to f/16.) Distance...almost always within three meters, rarely further out than five or six. Film...Ilford XP2 Super, rated at EI 200. I used my 35 Summicron for awhile on the same project (an on-going hobby thing) but lately have been sticking with the Elmar due to the flatter look and narrower field-of-view. - -Dave-
